The Webster Township Farmland and Open Space Preservation Program recently closed on a conservation easement purchase from Martin and Susan Walsh. The property is just over 38 acres in size with frontage on the south side of Trail Ridge, which runs south from Walsh Rd. east of Huron River Dr. It features locally important agricultural soils and 28 acres of woods and wetlands with over 1,000 feet of frontage on an unnamed creek that flows into the Huron River a short distance away. The property is near the University of Michigan Sail Club property and two conservation easements held by Webster Township. The Walsh easement ensures that the land will never be developed but it remains in private ownership and is not open to the public.
