The students in Rockne Finley's science class at Mar Lee will join Michigan Audubon staff and other volunteers to host an open house at the nearby Voorhees Sanctuary on Saturday, October 16th.
Mar-Lee has "adopted" the sanctuary, and students have been sprucing up the once-neglected 40-acre Audubon refuge as part of an after-school project. They have created trails, installed boardwalk where needed, installed birdhouses, and created interpretive signs. At the open house this Saturday they will lead intepretive hikes and highlight the refuge.
The open house runs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The Voorhees Sanctuary is located on 24 Mile Rd. in northwest Calhoun county. It lies at the intersection of 24 Mile Rd. with O Dr. North, approximately six miles northeast of Marshall. To get there from I-94, take the 26 Mile Rd. exit north three miles to L Dr. North. Turn west on L Dr. North and take it approximately two miles to 24 Mile Rd. Take 24 Mile north approximately 1.5 miles to the sanctuary, which is located on the west side of the road.
