| Recipient: Rails-to-Trails Conservancy |
| Project Period: 9/15/99 to 11/14/99 |
| Project Officer: Karen Rodriguez (312-353-2690) |
This project will support a series of meetings with community leaders, organization and agency administrators, and consultants involved in ecological protection and restoration in southeast Michigan to explore ways of developing the most effective, comprehensive conservation initiative possible for the region. Other community models such as Chicago Wilderness, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Portland, Oregon will be explored. The goal is to begin to develop a structure and identify leadership to assume responsibility for a coordinated planning and resource management effort.
