The M-22 Byway Committee works to protect the natural and rural landscape with its many scenic vistas and open spaces such as the Lake Michigan shoreline, orchards, vineyards, farm fields, rolling hills, valleys, forests, and inland lakes, rivers, streams; and the historic, cultural, and recreational attributes.
