Picture an industrial brownfield that has stood vacant for 15 years and is
now being cleaned up and restored for public use as the Gateway to the
Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge. And all of this is happening
next to the only "wetland of international significance" designated in
Michigan under the Ramsar Convention.  Well, that is precisely what is
happening. The project has be described as transformational for southeast
Michigan.

On Thursday, August 11th at 7:00 PM Landscape Designer Allison Krueger of
the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge will give a seminar titled
"The Refuge Gateway Engineered for Wildlife: Transformation of an Industrial
Brownfield to the Gateway to Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge."
This seminar will be held at the Westfield Center in Trenton (2700 Westfield
Road, Trenton, MI 48183) and is open to the public at no cost. 

For more information contact Jamie Lanier, Park Ranger (734-692-7649) of the
Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge or Joann Van Aken, Office
Manager of the International Wildlife Refuge Alliance (734-692-7671).
