Summary
On June 26, 2026, Peaine Township reported that poison hemlock had been documented on Beaver Island for the first time in late summer 2025. The notice said five properties along Gull Harbor Road were affected, plants had been removed from three properties, and annual removal and longer-term monitoring were planned because seeds may remain viable.
