DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) -- Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday it is donating 242 acres of Michigan coastal wetlands to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The land, located in Monroe County between Ann Arbor and the Ohio state line, will be included in the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge.

It was previously managed jointly by the Fish and Wildlife Service and by Automotive Components Holdings, a holding company for some assets once owned by Ford's former parts arm Visteon Corp.

The refuge incorporates more than 5,700 acres of land along the lower Detroit River and western Lake Erie.
