Known then as Schenck Woods, the land had been in her family since 1869. She wanted to see it preserved for wildlife and sold it to the Michigan Nature Association in a bargain sale. In 1982, it was renamed Jasper Woods as a memorial to Elmer and Irene Jasper who were founding members of the Michigan Nature Association and both served as officers and directors in its early years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jasper Woods」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
