Currently, there is an 80% chance of a thunderstorm at 6pm on Wednesday, September 10. We are still hoping for Wednesday, but have scheduled a rain date: Saturday, Sept. 13th from 1-2:30pm. We will give you an update on Wed so keep an eye on your emails. -Andrea

Located in center of Scio Township, Tumuchtomo comprises 38 acres.
Approximately 26 acres of the property are under a conservation easement -
part of the Legacy Land Conservancy?s ~50 acre Merlin Way Easement which was
established in 1996. David started restoration work on a 10-acre section in
2004 and after several years of clearing, burning and herbiciding, he sowed
133 pounds Big bluestem, Little bluestem and Indian Grass seed in June of
2008. Since then, the grasses have established themselves and David is now
adding native forbs and trees where space allows.

Like all of our events this is free and open to the public.

For prairie walking might we recommend long pants and long sleeves.

If you need seed for your projects, the Reads have invited us to bring paper bags.

Directions: Follow Ann Arbor Dexter Road to Zeeb Road. Head south on Zeeb
for about 1/4 mile and turn right (west) on Marshall Road (if you come to
the fire station, you?ve gone too far).
After about 3/4 of a mile, turn left (south) on Merlin Way. The sign for
Merlin Way is partly hidden by trees so look for it as you approach the top
of the hill just past the Norma and Dan Green?s place.
We are the last house on the right before the cul-de-sac ? look for the
?Tumuchtomo? rock. Feel free to park, head-in, on either side of the big
oaks in the middle of the circular drive.

If coming from I94, take exit 169 and head north on Zeeb Road for about a
mile (if you come to Ann Arbor Dexter Road, you?ve gone too far). Turn left
(west) on Marshall Road ? see above.
