In January of 2010, Scio Township purchased a conservation easement on 38 acres owned by Dan and Norma Green in Section 16 off Marshall Rd. west of Zeeb Rd. The Greens have long wanted their land to be a Township park and have welcomed hundreds of school children and others to visit over the years. The property has an extensive trail network through mature woods and fields that the Greens planted with conifers and native deciduous trees. It is bisected by a branch of Honey Creek.
Public access to the Green property is permitted and encouraged. Please contact Dan and Norma's daughter Becky first by calling (734) 780-7101. Access is prohibited during all firearms seasons for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). A parking area is permitted in the easement, but for the time being visitors should ask the Greens where best to park. The Township negotiated a right of first refusal to purchase the Green property so that Dan and Norma’s dream of having it be a Township park can be realized.
