The 170-acre Saugatuck Wilds Nature Preserve, formerly known as the old airport property, opened to the public Thursday, May 29, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Thanks to $160,000 donation from the children and grandchildren of Saugatuck resident George Supp, the following were fully funded:
- Developing trails and signage
- An overlook deck
- Establishing a parking area
- Combating invasive species and restoring natural habitat, and
• A conservation easement to protect the eastern portion of the property for future generations.
The new park is located off 63rd Street, north of 134th Avenue.
