 Hundred Acre Wood (photo from Little Traverse Conservancy) |
from an article by M-Live
A 160-acre tract of land near Harbor Springs, Michigan, will be purchased by the Little Traverse Conservancy. They are currently raising the $3 million to make this a reality. An additional 20 acres will be donated by the Jeff Ford family, who has always called the property the "Hundred-Acre Wood," as in Winnie the Pooh.
The fundraising is already approaching $2.5 million, and if all goes well, the property could be open for skiing and snowshoeing this winter.
The West Traverse Township public trails abut the property on the west. All together, this will be 260 connected acres that will be available for public recreation and for wildlife. The ecosystem is primarily upland hardwoods.
Future plans could include a parking area, signage, and additional trails.
