We’re a 2026 Catalyst Fund recipient! Thank you Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance! This grant will support The Office Of Cottrellville Township, a small community along the Bridge to Bay Trail, to move their massive 2.2-mile project closer to construction. The township is making tremendous progress, and we’re glad to support them!

Congratulations to Friends of the St. Clair River, a 2026 MTGA Catalyst Fund recipient!

The Bridge to Bay Trail is a 50+ mile non-motorized system in St. Clair County, but a gap remains in Cottrellville Township between completed trail in Marine City to the north and Algonac State Park to the south. A $5,000 MTGA Catalyst Fund grant will support a boundary and topographic survey of the corridor along M-29 (River Road), locating property boundaries and MDOT right-of-way limits and gathering terrain data with drone technology and SEMCOG, Southeast Michigan Council of Governments’s LIDAR.

The survey will help bring together the work of the past 18 months, and once it is complete the township plans to hold a public hearing to share findings and discuss next steps with residents. It also positions the project for competitive TAP and DNR Trust Fund applications.

“The Phase 1 survey is a critical step in this process and will help bring together the many pieces that have been worked on over the last 18 months.”
Greg Abbey, The Office of Supervisor Cottrellville Twp.

“This grant will support Cottrellville Township, a small, rural community along the Bridge to Bay Trail, to move their massive 2.2-mile project closer to construction. The township is making tremendous progress, and we’re glad to be able to support them!”
Sheri Faust, Executive Director, Friends of the St. Clair River

🦇 Bats are pollination heros. Over 500 plants rely on bats to pollinate their flowers, like figs, bananas, avocados, cocoa, and agave!

During the winter, bats take a little snooze called hibernation. They find a safe, quiet spot and slow their heart rate from a 1,000 beats per minute to 10. This helps them save energy until spring.

It was a gorgeous evening at our 2nd annual luminary hike at 16th Street Park in Port Huron!

A half-mile hike into the woods was guided by soft luminary light. Everyone who came raved at how wonderful the event was.

And an almost full moon added to the ambiance! 🌕 Thanks to City of Port Huron Parks & Recreation Department for sponsoring the event!

Haven’t been to 16th Street Park in Port Huron? Get there and check out the trails!

We live in a culture that constantly encourages us to look ahead. But Nature invites us into the present. The natural world operates in a state of presence.

And we remember that life is not a race; it’s a relationship. So, perhaps one of the greatest environmental actions we can take is simply to deepen that relationship.

Thanks to Green Steps for hosting “Celebrate Earth” at Goodells County Park on Oct 17 and inviting us to be the keynote speaker!
