- —Hudson Mills at 1,549 acres and Dexter-Huron at 122 are regional-authority land — the most durable tier of open space

- —On a wooded lot, gutter clearance is a several-times-a-year job
Webster Township, and wooded lots
Webster Township occupies the ground north of Dexter and is one of the more rural townships in the county — largely agricultural, with residential development at lower density than areas closer to the cities. It is a separate government from the City of Dexter, with its own board, tax rate, services, zoning and assessor.
School assignment is a separate question again, and this community is served by Dexter schools despite sitting in Webster Township — exactly the kind of three-way split this county produces routinely.
Wooded lots are the described feature, and where woodland is genuinely present it is both an asset and an obligation. Mature canopy cannot be bought at any price in a new subdivision. Where trees stand on private ground, though, the obligation is entirely the owner's: a large tree close to a building is one to have an arborist look at rather than guess about, removal is a four-figure expense, and periodic pruning is recurring.
Canopy over a roof means leaf drop into gutters and valleys — exactly where roofs fail first — and shade that keeps surfaces damp and shortens the life of a covering. On a wooded lot, gutter clearance is a several-times-a-year job rather than an annual one.
Where woodland adjoins rather than sits on the lot, ownership decides its durability entirely, and the possible answers look identical from a window: publicly held land is the most durable, a recorded conservation easement runs with the land, association common area is real protection the owners themselves fund, and merely unbuilt private ground is protected only by whatever zoning and wetland rules apply.
Deer are part of living in wooded country here, which is a gardening constraint rather than a problem and better known before planting than after.
