Springhill Nature Preserve -- owned by the Southeast Michigan Land 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    Conservancy

This 30 acre preserve is an EXCELLENT spot for spring wildflowers.  
It is on Berry Road, just south of Ford Road and about 3/4 miles 
east of Prospect Road.  There is a large wooden sign marking the 
property, which is adjacent to a large white house at 3401 Berry 
Road.  There is an easement on the property at 3401 Berry to get to 
the Preserve, which is largely wooded and contains a wetland area.  
The preserve is also adjacent to a field that has been farmed.

Superior Land Conservancy was established several years ago in 
Superior Township (just east of Ann Arbor), and has made some great 
strides, together with the Southeast Michigan Land Conservancy, in 
land/habitat preservation in the midst of tremendous pressure to 
develop.  Through April 1996 the SLC and SMLC made three land 
acquisitions (LeFurge Preserve, Springhill Nature Preserve, and 
Cherry Hill Preserve) in Superior Township.  They are working to 
preserve other natural areas within the Township.  Please consider 
becoming a member of the Superior Land Conservancy to help in this 
effort!
