Michael Mansour, naturalist in charge of the Hawk Woods Nature Center in Auburn Hills, is about to undergo his third scientific expedition with the Earthwatch Institute.

He’s spent 45-years building up the nature center as its only employee. From programming to trail development and conservation of the 100-acre land, Mansour has seen thousands come through the doors of the nature center off of Bald Mountain Road.

From March 11 to 18, Mansour will travel as a research assistant with Earthwatch scientists to study the endangered whooping crane, the tallest bird in North America, on the Gulf Coast in Texas.
