SEEDS Youth Corps program will hold a dedication at Old Settlers’ Park on Big Glen Lake on July 16 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. to celebrate and bless the observation deck constructed by the SEEDS Youth Corps crew to overlook the endangered monkey flower, which is currently in bloom. The wood used to construct the deck is made from black locust (an invasive species)—milled and harvested less than 20 miles to the site. This project was made possible through the generosity of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Jody Marquis, Michael & Lori Lyman and Steve & Kathy McShane.
