Support MNA Efforts to Purchase Addition to Genevieve Casey
2011-03-01

If you care about Michigan and nature, here is your chance to make an immediate difference by helping MNA in a campaign to protect a special natural area in Oceana County (near Pentwater, south of Ludington).

Adjacent to the existing Genevieve Casey Nature Sanctuary is approximately 30 acres home to a trout stream, salmon spawning grounds and a variety of other habitats. Protecting this property would more-than-double the size of the existing sanctuary, and also serve as a buffer to continue protecting the habitat, especially the delicate stream ecosystem.
