George Jury is the founder of Greenwood Wildlife Sanctuary. He and his late wife had the dream and mission to conserve the natural state of the land, protecting and encouraging the growth of the wildlife population on the land, and making the land available as an educational resource to qualified persons to the extent consistent with these conservation goals. This mission is solely funded by Greenwood Foundation, a private operating foundation committed to protect the land permanently, protected by conservation easements through the Little Traverse Conservancy.
