Schumaker, Heather.
Uncommon conservation : the story of saving Grass River / Grass River Natural Area. - Traverse City, Michigan : Chabanelle Media, 2010. - xiv, 63 p. : ill., port., (some col.) ; 23 cm.
Phase I: Early Days of Land Acquisition (1968-1979) -- Phase II: Land Stewardship and Education (1979-1992) -- Phase III: A Staffed Nonprofit (1992-onward)
"Uncommon Conservation, The Story of Saving Grass River chronicles the origins of one of Michigan's oldest and largest nature preserves. In an era that predated heightened environmental consciousness, a handful of visionaries -- that soon grew to hundreds -- have achieved national recognition as the 'Grass River Model.' These volunteer activists protected an irreplaceable resource for the good of nature and community. This collective accomplishment is a roadmap for future environmental stewards committed to enriching lives and ensuring the permanence of the natural world." -- back cover
