Bush Bay Wetlands
Environmental permitting, wetland-sensitive trail planning, boardwalk design, and GIS analysis for a unique Great Lakes coastal preserve.
Project Overview
The Bush Bay Trail, affectionately known as the Narnia Trail, traverses sensitive coastal wetlands along the Lake Huron shoreline in Mackinac County, Michigan.
Schubbe Consulting partnered with The Nature Conservancy to complete wetland delineations, optimize trail crossings, design boardwalk infrastructure, and support EGLE permitting for a sustainable long-term trail solution.
