Leo Creek Preserve
An outdoor learning laboratory, nature preserve and botanical garden in Suttons Bay, Michigan
OUR MISSION
The mission of Leo Creek Preserve is to use its unique creek, forest, and agricultural spaces to bring nature into people’s everyday lives, to provide an outdoor learning laboratory to enjoy and to investigate soil, water and woodland ecology, to learn about soil regenerating and carbon sequestration practices, and to bring art into natural areas.. We value strengthening our connection to the natural world and bringing people together to work towards a beautiful, healthy, productive and regenerating environment, and sharing its abundance.
How tall, how old, how much carbon does this White Pine store? Foresters Kama Ross and Lynn Baker, and arborist Bo Burke came to answer these questions for 50 kids in two visiting classrooms. Bo climbed and measured the tree so the kids could calculate the carbon stored themselves.
Answer: 6,677 pounds of carbon
Carbon Dioxide sequestered: 24,505 pounds.
