Filling in the Puzzle
SALLY AND ART HAILAND NATURE PRESERVE CREATED
One woman’s love of nature and her family has made possible the permanent protection of a high priority parcel within the Conservancy’s Harbor Springs Greenbelt. The new 40-acre Sally and Art Hailand Nature Preserve adjoins existing nature preserves and private land creating a block of nearly 400 acres of protected land, all found just a few miles from both Harbor Springs and Petoskey. Located a stone’s throw from Crooked Lake, the new preserve is part of a wetland complex of high quality habitat for many species as noted by wildlife biologist Dr. Bill Scharf in an ecological inventory of the land. A large variety of bird species ranging from the beautiful Wood Duck to the state threatened Red-shouldered Hawk are found in the region and the land’s protection is important for the water quality of Crooked Lake.
