www.michigannature.org/home/news/walkingpath.shtmlWalking Paths & Protected Areas of the Keweenaw is the new guidebook published by Michigan Nature Association (MNA). This 80-page, one-of-its-kind guidebook describes 22 sanctuaries and preserves in Houghton and Keweenaw counties.
Each description in this quick reference and easy-to-use guidebook
includes driving directions, a trail map, unique plants, animals and
geology, and conservation history, along with color photos of each
site. Along with MNA, seven land conservation organizations and units
of government with protected lands in the Keweenaw Peninsula
collaborated with each other to put together this new guidebook.
Printed on recycled paper with vegetable-based ink, the new guidebook
is a long-awaited upgrade compared to the last Keweenaw guidebook of
the MNA – ‘Walking Paths in the Keweenaw’, first published in 1989,
then updated in 1995. The first booklet had black and white pictures
with scaled down version of maps and only described MNA nature
sanctuaries in Keweenaw county. Continue Reading on MNA site
