The Beaver Island Trails Committee solicited volunteers to plant 1,000 certified native beach-grass plugs along the dunes at Iron Ore Creek after the culvert was replaced. A same-day follow-up said that help was still welcome as the weather improved.

Evidence limits

The forum announcement and follow-up establish the restoration effort and its intended scale, but do not prove that all 1,000 plugs were planted or describe the later condition of the dunes.

  1. Pam Grassmick announced that 1,000 certified native beach-grass plugs had arrived for dune planting at Iron Ore Creek, where the culvert had been replaced, and invited volunteers for October 18. A follow-up said help was still welcome that day. This documents the planned and actively solicited work, but not the number planted or final completion.
