Champions of the Wild: Celebrating Sarah Pregitzer and Randy Butter’s Legacy and the Future of Newaygo’s Natural Habitats

In the heart of Newaygo County, a remarkable story of dedication and environmental stewardship unfolds—a story that deserves to be celebrated and continued. Sarah Pregitzer and husband, Randy Butters, after dedicating years to education and environmental conservation, embarked on a mission that would redefine the natural landscapes of Newaygo County. Their work, through the Newaygo Invasive Plant Project (NIPP), has not only combated the spread of invasive species but has also ignited a community-wide movement toward environmental awareness and action.
