Sunday, August 24th, 2025 - Grosse Ile Tree ID @ Bruce Jones Preserve - CANCELLED

Northwest Intersection of Bridge Rd. and Meridian Rd. from 1-2:30 pm​

​​

Unfortunately, our environmental educator is unavailable, and we must cancel the Grosse Ile Tree ID Walk scheduled for Sunday, August 24, 2025, at the Dr. Bruce Jones Preserve.

The good news? Like all GINLC preserves, Bruce Jones Preserve is open year-round! 🌳
GINLC has created trails throughout the preserve, complete with signs and QR codes near native trees and other points of interest. Scan them with your phone to learn more—many of the descriptions were written by talented Grosse Ile High School students.

We hope to reschedule this event later this year. Thank you for being so understanding, and we encourage you to explore the preserve on your own in the meantime!

others don't like to eat mushrooms at all...but the many varieties of fungi play vital roles in our ecosystem. Let's go

find some!

​Thursday, October 2, 2025 - Detroit River Public Advisory Council - 2025 Community Forum  @ John C. Jackson Resource Center 8801 Macomb St., Grosse Ile, Michigan. 6:30-7:30 pm. 

GINLC works in partnership with the Friends of the Detroit River, which leads and serves as the fiduciary for the Public Advisory Council (PAC). The PAC identifies impairments to the river’s health and develops projects to address them.
The Detroit River PAC is currently hosting Community Forums to raise awareness about the Detroit River Area of Concern (AOC), explain the past two decades of habitat restoration in the region, share updates on current efforts, and gather public input on future needs and visions. The goal is to inspire community involvement and align public interests with upcoming restoration and protection efforts. This is an opportunity for residents to have a direct voice in shaping the future of the Detroit River.
