Sleepy Hollow State Park Appendix B Appendix B – Summary of Public Input Over the duration of the General Management Planning process, the Planning Team ensured a variety of opportunities for public input and feedback. These avenues included: Community Engagement Meetings (April 2016) – located at Victor Township Hall, a series of four meetings were held where participants were asked to identify Strengths, Weaknesses and Opportunities regarding Sleepy Hollow State Park. o Local Government/General Public - April 12, 2016, 10:00 to 12:00 p.m. o Local Business/General Public – April 14, 2016, 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. o Volunteers/Non-Profits/General Public – April 14, 2016, 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. o Neighbors/General Public - April 20, 2016, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. On-line Public Input Survey – an online survey developed to gather general information about park visitor demographics and their use of the park as well as aspirations for improving features and amenities offered at the park. The survey was posted and available for response on the DNR website beginning March 25, 2016 and closed on May 16, 2016. 155 individuals responded to the survey. Sleepy Hollow State Park Website – throughout the planning effort, a website was maintained that included resources about the General Management Planning process, including opportunities for comment and draft documents for review. On-Site User Survey – This on-site approach samples park users at systematically selected days and times across May - November of 2016. It uses a windshield survey on their vehicle to ensure representation of the full range of park users in assessing future options for management. Summaries of the results are provided for Spring, Summer (and Fall – TBC) 2016 Tribal Notification – A letter was sent to the Federally recognized tribal governments in the region, informing them of the Management Planning efforts and inviting them to meet with the representatives of the DNR to discuss any issues or concerns they may have relating to Sleepy Hollow State Park. Public Input Open House - TBC Summary DNR to host April 20 workshop to gather planning input for Sleepy Hollow State Park Contact: Debbie Jensen, 517-284-6105 Agency: Natural Resources March 30, 2016 The Michigan Department of Natural Resources recently announced it is seeking public input on a new General Management Plan to guide the future of Sleepy Hollow State Park, located in Clinton County. The public is invited to participate in a community engagement workshop Wednesday, April 20, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Victor Township Hall, 6843 E. Alward Road in Laingsburg. During the workshop, people will be invited to discuss the park's strengths and weaknesses and suggest opportunities for improvements. It will be facilitated by Dr. Chuck Nelson from Michigan State University Extension, who is assisting the DNR with this project. Those not able to attend the workshop may complete a short online survey; the link is available at the top of the Sleepy Hollow State Park Web page. The survey will be available until April 29. Sleepy Hollow State Park contains more than 2,600 acres, including the 410-acre Lake Ovid, which was developed by damming the Little Maple River. The park offers year-round recreation opportunities including hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, camping, swimming, picnicking, disc golf, boating, fishing and hunting. The park's General Management Plan will define a long-range (10 to 20 years) planning and management strategy that will assist the DNR in meeting its responsibilities to protect and preserve the site’s natural and cultural resources, and to provide access to land- and water-based public recreation and educational opportunities. Public input is an important part of the DNR’s planning process. This meeting is one of several opportunities for the public and stakeholders to be involved. The DNR also will host a public open house later this year, providing an opportunity for review and comment on the draft plan. Additional information on the DNR’s General Management Plan process is available at www.michigan.gov/parkmanagementplans.
