LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Natural Resources will pay $196,675 to the Land Conservancy of West Michigan for a 33-acre tract of land near Muskegon State Park.
The DNR also said Friday it will receive an additional 35 acres as a gift from the conservancy.
Both parcels are along the eastern boundary of Muskegon State Park.
The acquisition of the first property will complete state ownership of a coastal plain marsh.
The DNR says the land that it's getting as a gift will be operated as part of the state park and remain in its natural, generally undeveloped state.
