State Rep. Jennifer Conlin (D-Ann Arbor Charter Twp.) speaks on the House floor of the Michigan Capitol on May 7, 2025.
LANSING, Mich., May 14, 2025 — The Michigan House of Representatives passed House Bill 4392, a supplemental bill to appropriate funding from the Natural Resources Trust fund, today. The bill will provide funding for 85 projects to acquire and enhance public lands for preservation and recreation for Michiganders. After the bill’s passage, state Rep. Jennifer Conlin (D-Ann Arbor Charter Twp.) issued the following statement:
“Today, I was excited to vote yes on a $1 million investment to acquire 160 acres of undeveloped land south of the Waterloo Recreation Area and 120 acres to add onto Pinckney Recreation Area. Michigan’s natural resources are core to Michiganders’ way of life, which is why I requested funding for outdoor recreation initiatives for our community in this year’s budget. In the meantime, I’m excited that these additions to Waterloo and Pinckney will help preserve the great outdoors, as well as provide more space for community members to enjoy.”
