Adams Property

(North side of Stadium Drive – east of Rambling Road)

 

 

 

 

Description:  Natural habitat that to my understanding does not have a lot of non-native invasive species.  The site included 2+ acres of oak savanna remnant and floodplain, wet prairie, and shrub wetland. 

 

Why it should be preserved:  It is unique for the above reasons and is a green corridor needed from the west into the city of Kalamazoo and the University.  It contains diverse remnant of the original county habitat.

 

Other Comments: Development should not be allowed.  I am sure it helps prevent erosion that is leading to the need to dredge Arcadia sewer.  It is currently owned by Adams Outdoor Advertising Company.
