Garden, MI—27 October 2005—While no ghosts or goblins have been spotted yet in the Garden Peninsula, threats such as fire suppression and fragmentation caused by incompatible development are even more scary to conservationists trying to protect the natural biodiversity of the area.
This week’s action by The Nature Conservancy to acquire 230 acres, including nearly three miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, should alleviate some of those fears. A stunning mature, northern white cedar forest dubbed the “haunted forest” by the former landowners was also included in the transaction.
