Pittsfield Preserve provides visitors a variety of woods, marshes, and grasslands to walk through and enjoy the changing seasons. There are two parking lots for easy access along with maps and waste bags for dog walkers.
You should be aware that at times you should be wearing boots due to the lower areas that do not dry quickly. You will either enjoy or balk at the unusual bridges, but they can be fun as long as you stay dry.
Ornithologists study every aspect of birds, including bird songs, flight patterns, physical appearance, and migration patterns.This preserve has everything birds would like, including nesting areas, ponds, and grasslands. Notice the number of birdhouses as you walk through the preserve and see how inviting these are to the bird population.
Michigan’s iconic Sandhill Cranes, majestic and standing three to four feet tall, were once nearly brought to dangerously low numbers by market hunting and wetland loss. They thrive today in marshes all around the state. Nearly 24,000 were counted across Michigan last spring. Only 27 Lower Peninsula pairs could be found in 1944.
