Summary
In June 2019, a Beaver Island conservation notice reported garlic mustard on the Keebler Trail and on a logging trail near the south-end lighthouse. It urged early removal before seed set and asked residents to document locations.
Evidence limits
The source is a local early-detection warning. It does not provide a complete island inventory, verified coordinates, treatment totals, or later control results.
Open questions
- Was the garlic mustard reported on the Keebler Trail and the logging trail near the south-end lighthouse removed, and did any follow-up survey confirm control or spread?
- Were the requested GPS locations ever submitted to the state invasive-species database, and can the archive obtain that record?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
Sources
- The post reported garlic mustard on the Keebler Trail and a logging trail across from the south-end lighthouse, urged early detection and hand removal, and asked observers to document locations for GPS entry into a state database. This is an attributed local report and volunteer protocol, not an independent botanical survey or proof of treatment.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 14 · t014187
