The Windsor Port Authority is planning to cut down trees and level land on Ojibway Shores in Windsor's west end.
The land is approximately 32 acres in size and abuts Black Oak Park.
The plan is to eventually develop the area for industrial port. The proposal includes trucking dirt from the Herb Gray Parkway to raise the land above the flood plain.
If approved, work should be completed by the fall.
The Citizen Environment Alliance claims Ojibway Shores is the last remaining stretch of undeveloped, natural shoreline in Windsor on the Detroit River and is opposed to the plan.
A study on the plot of land is one year in the making. Information will be released at an open house meeting at Mackenzie Hall on Wednesday.
The authority says it plans to partially preserve the natural habitat of the land.
