OCC Highland Lakes Campus Hike

The purpose of this hike (besides having fun!) is to raise awareness about efforts to save the northern 90 acres that includes the Luellen R Woughter Nature Preserve (OCC Highland Lakes Campus).

Schedule:
6:00pm: meet for an update on the state of the property.
6:15 pm: 3 mile hike (with options to turn back sooner) through the Luellen R Woughter Nature Reserve.
After the hike: optional gathering at the Redwood Bar & Grill located near the campus for food and further conversation. They have the best ribs and soup in town! We hope to see you there!
Registration in the Sierra Club system is required for all attendees.

Please register in advance at this Sierra Club Registration Page
to help streamline the check-in process for our volunteer outings leaders.

Background:
The Oakland Community College Highland Lakes Campus is closing and the property may be sold. There is nature worth preserving here known as the Luellen R Woughter Nature Preserve.
Oakland County Parks and Recreation offered to buy this property, but the offer was never taken to the board of trustees for consideration. The Sierra club and other environmental advocacy groups are working to save our "Public Land For Public Use" and keep it out of the hands of developers.
