Notes: Uncommon Conservation, The Story of Saving Grass River chronicles the origins of one of Michigan's oldest and largest nature preserves. In an era that predated heightened environmental consciousness, a handful of visionaries—that soon grew to hundreds—have achieved national recognition as the 'Grass River Model.'
