Product Description

Michigan Public Recreation Lands' Billion Dollar Bonanza by Jack Westbrook: From the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula to a harbor park in downtown Detroit, over 2,200 public recreation facilities from rail trails to parks to fishing piers statewide have benefitted from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, born of a unique alliance of government, environmental groups and the Michigan oil and gas industry in the mid-1970s and serving today as a solution to a seeming impasse. Retired Michigan Oil & Gas News magazine Managing Editor Jack R. Westbrook has covered the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund from first plans to adulthood, and now guides you, the reader, through a county-by-county guide to the Fund's projects in all 83 counties, with general and oil and gas histories of their county home venues.
