Online Zoom Meeting February 16 7:30, Thursday
To explore the creation of an on-going organization of community members to help manage and care for Mitchell-Scarlett Woods, the central 40 acres of the Scarlett-Mitchell Nature Area. This area contains the heart of the woods and the pond, which was dredged in 1982. It is owned by the Ann Arbor Public Schools and is no longer managed by Nature Area Preservation. Help us create a vision and a plan for going forward.
