We give special thanks to:

Our more than 800 donors, who allowed us to surpass the $150K community support goal as of October 15! (See our Donor Hall of Fame).

Meridian Township Land Preservation Board and the Meridian Township Board of Trustees, who have dedicated $675K in outstanding support of this project, and the Meridian Township Parks Commission, for their resolution of support!

Playmakers and their massage therapists and fitness consultants, who have given extraordinary support to the project by organizing and sponsoring the Preserve the Trails Run/Walk Event on June 22 and the lunch, t-shirts and raffle items that day, covered our advertising in the Towne Courier, and provided lots of staff and volunteer support throughout!

Julie Brixie, Meridian Township Trustee, who has advised and advocated our cause since the beginning.

Ingham County Drain Commissioner Patrick Lindemann, who has also advocated this land preservation, due to its continuing benefits for Lake Lansing water quality.

Dianne Holman, Deb Nolan, and Marc Thomas, Ingham County Commissioners who have given us great support, and the entire Ingham County Board of Commissioners and the Ingham County Parks Commission for supporting our DNR Natural Resources Trust Fund application.
