We went to a native plant sale. The variety and stock was quite limited.I am giving a 2 only because this was about a very disappointing show that we traveled over an hour for. Im sure the conservancy itself is nice.

I enjoy walking here. It is peaceful and I see a lot of wildlife. I also love the Birds of Prey exhibit when they plan it. They have all sorts of great, family friendly events there. They have many educational and informative signs along the walk telling you about the ecosystem or telling you types of trees and about habitat and animals and birds. One of my go to walks in Owosso.

Great place to explore. There is a natural play area with a slide, lots of scrap wood for building, shovels to dig with, drums and other instruments to play on. Not your normal play ground with swings. There are also multiple trails including two that bring you down to the Shiawassee River and another that brings you along the edge of farmland. There are also different events through the year and crafts for kids. A great place to spend some time in nature.
