 
Northern Michigan land is one rich in natural bounties. From the 
Jordan
River Valley to the hills of Benzie County, the Sleeping Bear Dunes to 
Torch
Lake, Grand Traverse Bay to the Pere Marquette forest, there is a certain in every farm and forest. It is a beautiful land, but one beset by
forces that could one day ruin it. Traverse City and smaller towns grow by the day and as
more are drawn to the area, ever more difficult demands are put upon it.
Growth will come and the question becomes not how to stop it, but rather
how to shape it, to fit it into the masterful background that we call 
northern
Michigan.
