Board approves $13,500 nature-study proposal for Turtle Creek Preserve
Summary
The board approved a Midwest Biological Survey LLC proposal to develop the NBAS Nature Study Area and Turtle Creek Preserve, including adding a southern parcel (#240702), at a cost of $13,500 covered by a grant.
The New Buffalo Area Schools Board of Education approved a proposal May 19 from Midwest Biological Survey, LLC to develop a Nature Study Area and Turtle Creek Preserve, including the addition of the district's southern parcel #240702.
According to the minutes, "The Superintendent recommends the Board approve the proposal from Midwest Biological Survey, LLC for the NBAS Nature Study Area and Turtle Creek Preserve, including the addition of NBAS southern parcel (#240702), at a cost of $13,500. This expenditure will be covered by a received grant." The motion was moved by Jennifer Summers and seconded by Denise Churchill and recorded as "All ayes, motion carried."
Board members approved the grant-funded project to expand outdoor instructional or conservation space under the district's property holdings. The minutes cite the parcel number and the contractor; the attached proposal in the official record likely contains implementation details, timeline and stewardship responsibilities but is not reproduced in the minutes excerpt.
