Wild Lupine


The Maas Family Preserve is one of many managed by the Land Conservancy of West Michigan. Located in northern Kent County near Rockford, Michigan, it is a unique 15 acre "savannah" habitat characteristic of open spaces and well drained soil. During late May the preserve is carpeted with wild lupines that harbor the endangered Karner Blue Butterfly.
