Located in west Michigan, the designated parcel of land functions as a managed space primarily for wildlife conservation and recreational activities. It offers a diverse habitat including forests, wetlands, and grasslands, supporting a variety of animal and plant species. Public access is permitted for activities such as hunting, trapping, fishing, and wildlife viewing, subject to specific regulations.
This area is important for maintaining biodiversity, providing opportunities for outdoor recreation, and supporting local economies through hunting and fishing licenses, as well as tourism. Historically, such areas were established to restore wildlife populations depleted by unregulated hunting and habitat loss. Careful management practices, including habitat manipulation and regulated harvest, are essential for ensuring the long-term sustainability of these resources.
