Oak Savannah Trail Greenway, IN

      

Established in 2001 with a generous grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Great Lakes Revolving Fund enables The Conservation Fund to provide technical assistance and bridge financing to local land trusts. A recent loan enabled the Lake Heritage Parks Foundation to conserve 84 acres of wetlands and remnant oak savannah along the Oak Savannah Trail Greenway. Now managed by Lake County Parks and Recreation, the new public corridor connects to a popular eight-mile hiking and biking path.
