'The University of Michigan-Dearborn', located in Dearborn, Michigan, USA, is part of the University of Michigan system. It was established in 1959 after a gift of 196 acres (793,000 m²) from the Ford Motor Company. On the campus there are approximately 70 acres (283,000 m²) of nature preserve. The University is also steward to 120 acres of Wayne County property. Since 1992, the Rouge River Bird Observatory has operated on campus.
