SHELBY TOWNSHIP, MI-The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority plans to build a $1-million nature center at its Stony Creek Metropark in Shelby Township next year. The park’s new nature center will be 5,500 sf to 6,000 sf.

It will be located near the banks of Stony Creek and north of the current facility, says park authority spokesman David Moilanen.

Stony Creek’s nature center currently is housed in an 80-year-old cottage that was converted into an educational facility when the park opened in 1964. Three years ago, age and water damage forced the park to close its second floor, which was used as a classroom, Moilanen notes.
