The local nonprofit formed to purchase and preserve the former Timber Shores campground in Leelanau Township and has been fundraising since last year. The group has also established a strategic partnership with the GTB and will pursue a collaborative application for a significant federal grant with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
