The dedication for Carl Creek Wetland Preserve is scheduled for Sunday. Ada Township purchased 34 acres of woods and wetlands along Alta Dale Avenue, south of M-21. The $300,400 purchase came out of the township's open space fund with about $102,250 in donations from residents. A conservation easement with the Land Conservancy of West Michigan has been placed on the property, which includes a tributary of the Grand River, to maintain the land in a natural state. The township eventually might consider installing a path along the south side of the property and a small parking area. The dedication is set for 3 p.m. at 155 Alta Dale Drive SE.
