Irish Rd., was developed with the idea to inspire and memorialize our veterans. The park was built with donations from area businesses and individuals in conjunction with the Township Board. The Hank Graff Gazebo is the perfect spot for weddings, graduation pictures or a quiet place to enjoy the beautiful gardens, walkways and seating areas. The gazebo is available to rent for your special occasion. D The Davison Area Environmental Team in conjunction with area volunteers and community businesses provided an off-leash dog park for the community to let their dogs exercise and play in a controlled environment under the supervision of their owner. The park is located adjacent to the Black Creek Nature Trail at 1285 N. Gale Road on three acres of property, between Davison Road and Court Street, just south of the railroad tracks. It is the first of its kind in Genesee County with a small dog area and an all dog area. There are fire hydrant watering stations, a dog bone walk, pavilions and a dog house entry way—sure to thrill your furry friend. The pavilions are supplied with electricity and can be rented. obert Williams Nature R & Historical Learning Center This 100-acre park is located at 10069 Atherton Rd., just west of State Rd. The original parcel was donated to Davison Township by Robert and Jill Williams to be used for the enrichment of the Davison community to preserve nature, history and provide educational opportunities for residents. The Williams site houses a number of buildings. On Williams Parkway, the first building on the left is designated for programs in environmental science. The Davison Township Historical Museum is the next building on the right and houses many artifacts from early families and businesses that helped to grow the Davison area. The North House at the end of the parkway houses Department of Parks and Recreation events, and outdoor education programs. (See DTParks.com for upcoming programs) This building is also available to rent for parties and special events. The non-motorized trail system consists of 1.26 miles of beautiful limestone trails that traverse the hilly terrain and allow you to enjoy its amazing beauty. Look for future trail development, a pedestrian bridge and other new enhancements. SPLASH PAD VOLLEYBALL GRAND PAVILION SL E Kitchen School Kitchen School, located at Bristol Road and M-15 in Davison Township, was named for Silas Kitchen one of the area’s first residents. The building is dated to circa 1860. From its beginning, Kitchen School operated under the Rate Bill System for its funding. This system which was authorized by the state legislature in 1839 allowed district children fees or rates in proportion to the number of students and the number of days they attend school. The building has been restored by the Davison Township Board of Trustees and many volunteers. Davison Area Historical Society was given stewardship of the building in 2007. It is currently used for field trips, meetings, and special events. Visitors to the school can experience what a school day was like in the early half of the 20th century with an old fashioned school bell, wooden desks and slates for math and English lessons.

Michigan has over 3000 species of mushrooms, but it’s not necessary to learn all of them to forage safely. This class will introduce you to the major characteristics to look for when identifying mushrooms.

Forage and Feast Learning to forage is only half the battle! You also need to know what to do with your harvest when you get home. “Forage and Feast” combines a foraging class with a cooking class. We focus on just a few plants- learning to identify, harvest, clean, and prepare them. Using additional ingredients supplied by the instructor, we will prepare a beverage, main dish, 2 sides, a condiment, and a dessert featuring the items we harvest from the local woods.
