Spring is here and we have the perfect adventure for you!

Now available (at no charge) on the TravelstorysGPS app, you can explore The Nature Conservancy Michigan’s Nan Weston Nature Preserve at Sharon Hollow, located in Sharon Township, in a whole new way.

Listen to the chorus of spring peepers, spot slithering salamanders, and admire emerging wildflowers as you hike along to a guided GPS-based audio tour. With historical notes, fun facts, and wildlife wonders, you’ll be sure to learn something new.

These tours are totally free to the user and are a great way to experience the preserve with an informative narrative as you hike; it’s like a tour guide in your pocket! You can also listen to them from the comfort of your home, providing an opportunity for those that may not be able to physically visit.
