Exploring Nearby - Elan

With the ability to still get outside during the Stay Home. Stay Safe. order, our staff have been checking out nearby outdoor spaces! We've asked each of them to document their experience -- take a look below to see where we've been exploring!

Barstow Woods
​Since the Stay Home/Stay Safe order, I have been working remotely as we still have projects and obligations as part of our conservation work. What has been great, is getting out exploring the spaces close to home early in the morning before my work day starts. One of my favorite local spots, is Barstow Woods which has a wonderful forest that the City of Midland has been working hard to manage. The peace and quiet of this little forest within our community is amazing. 
The Tridge
Rail Trail by Currie Bridge
Dahlia Hill
​On some mornings, I head towards the Tittabawassee River and explore Dahlia Hill which has a nice view from atop the hill and you can glance in the windows at the wonderful artwork. From there, I walk along the Pere Marquette Rail Trail to visit the new overlook in Upper Emerson Park. Then I head downstream along the the river crossing Currie Bridge entering Chippewassee Park and setting foot on the Tridge. There are so many wonderful areas to explore within the City of Midland. That being said, I still enjoy visiting out nature preserves, but trying to limit my travels has opened up a whole new perspective on what nature abounds staying close to home.
