The Muskegon Environmental Research & Education Society,
(MERES) was formed in 1996 as an outgrowth of the Muskegon
Conservation Club. It acquired land that was to become the
Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve in 1997.
Since that time, the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve has served
the environmental educational needs of 5,000 kids per year and
been a sanctuary for some 4,000 people who just walk the trails
of the Preserve.
MERES is a 501-C-3 tax exempt organization and has provided
the Outdoor Classroom, the Al Bell Trail, the Fred Wilder
Observation tower and the Wilder River Walk, along with the trail
system without direct government assistance. We are totally
dependent on donations and grants.
Several dedicated volunteers have worked many hours to provide
this little place for nature in the heart of an urban community.

| Mission Statement The Society believes that the well being of our environment requires continuing environmental research and education of young people. It is the mission of the Society to support activities and projects that provide opportunities for the public to participate and observe environmental research and to provide environmental educational opportunities for students in the general Muskegon area. Wherever possible, these activities will play a simultaneous role in the revitalization of the damaged environment. |
