OCC Meet the Candidates Hike to Save Nature Preserve
Oakland Community College north parking lot off Hospital rd, Luellen R Woughter Nature Reserve, Waterford, MI, USJoin us for a 2.5 mile hike with another 2 mile option, along with an opportunity to meet the candidates running for the Oakland Community College Board of Trustees. At risk is the future of the northern 90+ acres of the Highland Lakes Campus, which contains the Luellen R. Woughter Nature Preserve, from Development. During the hike, we’ll explore the Luellen R. Woughter Nature Preserve, talk about efforts to preserve this campus and its natural area and give participants and candidates a chance to connect outdoors before Election Day.
Registration in the Sierra Club system is required for all attendees. Please register in advance at this Sierra Club Registration Page to help streamline the check-in process for our volunteer outings leaders.
The future of the Highland Lakes property matters to everyone who values natural spaces, wildlife habitat, and access to nature in Oakland County. Walking these trails together offers a chance to experience the land firsthand and discuss its future with people seeking a role in the college’s decisions.
This will be an informal opportunity for conversation along the trail. Bring your questions about OCC, the future of the Highland Lakes property, and the candidates’ priorities.
