  • Rehabilitation of Detroit River Shoreline Launched at Grosse Ile Nature Area
    METROPOLITAN AFFAIRS COALITION 535 GRISWOLD ! SUITE 300 ! DETROIT, MICHIGAN 48226 ! 313.961.2270 ! FAX 313.961.4869 ! WWW.MAC-WEB.ORG For Immediate release: August 30, 2004 Rehabilitation of Detroit River Shoreline Launched at Grosse Ile Nature Area The Grosse Ile Nature and Land Conservancy announced the second phase of shoreline rehabilitation along the Detroit River at the Grosse Ile Nature Area. This innovative project is recreating 970 feet of natural shoreline using cutting edge soft engineering techniques and will be completed in 2005. Together with the first phase project completed last year, this will mean that the Conservancy will have restored almost a quarter mile of Detroit River shoreline. This is a vitally important project because about 97% of natural coastal wetland habitats along the Detroit River have been lost to development and hard engineering of shorelines (use of concrete and steel to stabilize shorelines). The Conservancy will be using state of the art soft engineering techniques to cost-effectively reduce erosion, stabilize shoreline, enhance wildlife habitat, and improve aesthetics. The project’s budget is $102,000 with the Grosse Ile Nature and Land Conservancy receiving funding support from several sources. Metropolitan Affairs Coalition (MAC), as part of its Greater Detroit American Heritage River Initiative (AHR), awarded a $20,000 challenge grant to attract other funding. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Coastal Program provided $20,000 and the Great Lakes Basin Program for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control administered by the Great Lakes Commission provided $30,000. In-kind support is being contributed by the Grosse Ile Nature Conservancy, Grosse Ile Schools, U.S.

  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.

  • Palmer Woods Centennial Gala
    CELEBRATE! PALMER WOODS CENTENNIAL GALA Detroit Golf Club Saturday, September 19, 2015 Palmer Woods Centennial Logos s part of the Palmer Woods 100-Year Celebration, the Palmer Woods Centennial Committee sponsored a design competition to create a new visual logo for the Aneighborhood’s Centennial year. Artists were invited to submit their vision for a Centennial logo. The following artists submitted the winning logos: PHIL LEWIS – 1st Place Winner The winning logo was conceived by Phil Lewis, a lifelong Detroiter, Cass Tech graduate and recipient of a BFA from the Center for Creative Studies majoring in Illustration. “My mother used to say I was born with a paintbrush in my hand. Drawing was an escape for me,” remarks Phil. His natural ability was honed at Cass Tech under the tutelage of well known teachers such as Dr. Cledie Taylor, Marian Stephens and Irving Berg. Entering the contest to design a logo in celebration of the Palmer Woods Centennial was an easy decision for Phil. He loves the city of Detroit and considers Palmer Woods one of Detroit’s jewels. Even though he does not live in the neighborhood, he is good friends with residents and very aware of the community. Phil’s logo design was inspired by the beauty, history and character of the homes. Consequently, his logo effectively captures the spirit of our strong and beautiful community. Currently Phil is the owner of Phil Lewis Studio and a Digital Content Artist for MRM McCann Advertising. As the winning artist for the neighborhood contest, Phil’s logo is featured on banners that are be placed on light posts within and along the perimeter of the neighborhood.
