About the Program
Twin Creek Nature Area is located in Evart, Michigan, approximately 85 miles north of Grand Rapids. The site, managed by BlueTriton Brands, encompasses 169 acres of forest, upland and lowland landscape. Within the property, 3.3 acres are actively managed forest habitat, and pollinator gardens were planted in 2021. The forest habitat also includes a constructed bioswale and rain gardens that filter stormwater runoff, provide wetland habitat and help maintain cold-water habitat in Twin Creek.

Practices and Impacts 
  • Management in the forest habitat includes understory invasive species removal and replacement of non-native tree species.
  • The pollinator gardens contain a variety of wildflowers with different bloom times to provide forage for pollinators throughout the season.
  • Interpretive signage at the site educates visitors about pollinators, wetlands, local wildlife and cold-water habitat.
