As one of seven projects selected to receive grant funding to benefit communities and wildlife habitats in southeast Michigan by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, People for Palmer Park and the City of Detroit will be working to make Lake Frances and Witherell Woods more healthy, usable, and beautiful. 
​
These investments will strengthen regional resilience by installing green infrastructure, and reduce the threat of flooding and other intensifying environmental stressors. Additionally, projects will restore critical habitat for wildlife and create or enhance public access to and use of natural areas and parks across four counties. (1)

Over the next two years, we will clean up the Lake, replace invasive species with native plants, and improve walking and biking paths on the South end of the park.  We look forward to sharing more updates and getting your input throughout the project, but here's a preview of what you can expect to see happening in and around the lake.
