Support the Reach for the Sky Campaign

Coming in 2020, Reach for the Sky will include construction of a 10-story, ADA-accessible tree top tower and 700-foot canopy walk. This one-of-a-kind contemporary attraction will bring both local residents and traveling tourists, while contributing to the cultural setting of the Lenawee, Jackson, Hillsdale and Washtenaw County communities. The project is designed to provide significant opportunities for education, outreach, research, visitor experience, tourism and economic development. Join us in making this project a reality by contributing today.
