Outdoor Discovery Center – Former Saugatuck Airport Improvements

About the ODC Network ODC Network is a non-profit organization committed to connecting communities to the outdoors through conservation and education. We prioritize creating experiences in nature for people of all ages, working with public schools, community organizations, governments, non-profit organizations, and private institutions to create a unique model for education. A specific component of this mission is through conservation and constructing facilities that offer access to the outdoors. Objectives The overall objective is to activate this public land for community use. Improvements / updates to the site include renovating the existing aggregate parking area to create clarity for visitors, a new trailhead sign for interpretation and wayfinding, invasive species removal, trail clearing and improvements, and a small deck lookout. Structures A small deck platform will be constructed as part of the improvements. The likely size will be approximately 20x20’. The location is shown on the plan sheets. Timetable The ODC Network anticipates construction beginning in early spring of 2025, with completion anticipated in late spring, 2025. Contact Information Nate Bosch nate@outdoordiscovery.org
