Manfred and Judy – Friends of Mitchell-Scarlett Woods

Friends of Mitchell-Scarlett Woods | A Conservation Mini-Documentary

This short documentary gives a quick introduction to two conservationists, Judy and Manfred Schmidt, and the process that they went through to conserve Mitchell-Scarlett Woods, a nature reserve in the middle of Ann Arbor, Michigan, surrounded by a highway and developments. They had to stave off developers, spread awareness, and start a movement to keep the nature reserve intact. Even over 50 years after they began, Judy and Manfred continue to be the primary conservation caretakers of the woods.
