About Grass Bay Preserve
The current 834 acres of Grass Bay Preserve extends along two miles of stunning Lake Huron shoreline.This site boasts over 300 plant species. Three species of wildflowers are found nowhere on Earth but along the Great Lakes and they all thrive at Grass Bay—the diminutive dwarf lake iris (blooming in purple or white), Pitcher’s thistle and Houghton’s goldenrod. The songs of such neotropical migrants as the Black-throated Blue Warbler and the Prairie Warbler can be heard throughout the diverse landscape of shoreline, open dunes, interdunal wetlands, coniferous swamps and forests, home to twelve of Michigan’s thirteen coniferous species.

In order to protect the site from inadvertent ecological damage due to overuse, **access is limited** to Nature Conservancy field trips and research opportunities. If you are interested in learning more, please contact the Michigan field office at michigan@tnc.org or (517) 316-0300. From [|Grass Bay Preserve website]
