Property Management

The proceeds from the sale of the property transferred to the GLFT as part of the court settlement are invested to generate income for the operation and grant programs of the trust. Purchase agreements are being completed on three of the remaining four parcels of land still owned by the trust. Only one parcel of less than three acres remains to be sold.

Significant portions of the properties sold by the trust are now available for public use within the Huron Manistee National Forest along the Manistee and AuSable rivers. When property adjacent to watercourses was sold to private entities, the GLFT retained protective conservation easements.
