Peaine Township announced a June 6, 2017 formation meeting for a voluntary Beaver Island Archipelago Trails Association. The proposed association would care for and improve trails, work with the DNR on public-land designations and signage, and eventually seek grants for trail improvements after constraints limited the former township Trails Committee.

Evidence limits

The forum establishes the proposed mission and formation meeting. It does not establish formal incorporation, elected officers, grant awards, or completed trail work.

Open questions

  • Was the Beaver Island Archipelago Trails Association formally incorporated following this June 6, 2017 meeting, and who were its first officers?
  • What specific constraints on the former Peaine Township Trails Committee prompted this proposal? The forum notice cites constraints without naming them.

If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
