Trust for Public Land (TPL), in partnership with the City of Munising, and Lyme Great Lakes Timberlands LLC (Lyme), has protected 375 acres of forestland overlooking Lake Superior’s Munising Bay, permanently conserving a scenic and ecologically significant landscape that will become the City’s first community forest.

“We are proud to partner with TPL and the City of Munising to transfer this unique property from private ownership to public ownership,” said Sarah Kitz, Managing Director of The Lyme Timber Company LLC. “We realized that a community forest could be the best long-term use for this land given its siting within city limits, spectacular views of Lake Superior, and high-quality natural resources, and were glad delighted that TPL and the City were motivated to work with us to achieve this outcome.”
