This project focused on developing a Natural Area Stewardship Plan for Nature & Nurture Farm, a certified organic, heirloom seed farm in Dexter, Michigan. The plan aims to guide future management decisions for the farm's diverse natural areas, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands. The project involved comprehensive ecological site assessments, including soil, vegetation, and wildlife surveys, to understand the current state of the natural habitats and identify areas for improvement. The goal is to enhance biodiversity, manage invasive species, and integrate the natural areas with the farm's agricultural operations.
