Frank and Marion Church purchased this land in the 1980’s, managing it for pine, spruce, and some hardwoods. Frank kept the pine thinned and healthy, and the fields free of shrub growth. After Frank’s passing, Marion donated 26 acres. At the preserve’s highest elevation, approximately 800 feet, you can see Lake Charlevoix.
