Located along the B2B Trail in Dexter-Huron Metropark, the Title IX Plaza is a joint project between WCPARC and HWPI. This project honors the impact of Title IX legislation on women’s sports in southeast Michigan.

The site, which is approximately 60’ X 90 feet in size, lies 275 feet west of the Huron River and immediately south of this B2B Trail segment traversing an oxbow in the river. A mature oak grove establishes the project boundary on the south and east of the site, while a tall grass prairie defines the western edge.

A large wetland complex ('Trinkle Marsh') is a premier spot for watching waterfowl. Every spring and fall, dozens of species of birds, including ducks, shorebirds, herons, cranes, and more, stop on their migration journey. Additionally, many other species use the preserve as their summer home for nesting and raising young birds. Two convenient boardwalks and overlooks take you to the water’s edge getting you close to wildlife.

Other features of the preserve include a scenic woodlot adjacent to the marsh. Another wetland complex is situated in the northern portion of the preserve. Portions of the property remain as active farmland, as it has been for well over 100 years.
