We have a rare chance to add 342 acres to Upper Manistee Headwaters: The Milock Family Preserve. This proposed addition would protect all of Perch Lake, rich wetlands and mature forests—safeguarding water quality and preserving habitat for diverse wildlife species. Rogers Rd NE
Home to hardwood forests, rich wetlands and the entirety of Perch Lake, this landscape is vital to our region’s resilience. It helps keep our waters clean, forests healthy and wildlife thriving. Though it may feel remote, this ecological treasure is closer than you think—and it needs our protection.
