The Hall family sought to preserve the hilly, undeveloped region in the north of Clarkston. They purchased 20 acres of the highest area, built a home and began donating easements to the conservancy bit by bit. As a pilot, Tom Hall knew that the summit—a kame created in glacial times—was the highest point north of Detroit. Before the forest grew in height, Detroit’s buildings were visible on a clear day. The Halls have always welcomed neighbors to walk the trails on this remarkable property.
