Summary

The May 2012 Beaver Beacon reports Peaine Township’s appointment of Lisa Welke as Phragmites administrator, selection of a treatment contractor, and a May 21 meeting with agencies and organizations involved in the work.

Evidence limits

The article reports planned treatment and coordination; it does not establish that treatment of all 6,000 acres occurred.

Sources

  1. Lisa Welke announces an August 8 public meeting about the Phragmites treatment scheduled for late August or early September. The notice establishes public coordination, not treatment results.

  2. The forum preserves a recruitment notice for an island Phragmites administrator, including an estimated eight-hour work week, flexible hours, compensation range, and a March 24 application deadline. It documents the earlier recruitment stage; the Beacon remains the stronger source for Lisa Welke's later appointment and the treatment plan.
