A 60-year-old Yale woman is recovering after a single-vehicle crash Thursday night in Marlette Township. Around 9:25 p.m., her Jeep Liberty was heading north on Gosline Road north of Montgomery Road when it left the roadway, struck several trees, and rolled into the ditch. Deputies, Marlette police, fire crews, and Aspire EMS responded quickly, pulled her from the wreckage, and rushed her to Aspire Marlette Hospital for treatment of possible injuries. Officials say alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

The work will help create prime habitat for Monarch butterflies, grassland birds like the Grasshopper Sparrow, and many other local wildlife species. Additional invasive plant removal is set for this summer and fall, followed by native seed planting.
