Summary
The May 1988 Beaver Beacon published a “Special Plants of Michigan” notice encouraging Beaver Island residents to learn about and protect endangered, threatened, protected, and special-concern plants. The notice prominently urged readers not to disturb or pick wild plants and provided contact numbers for questions and additional information.
Evidence limits
The Beacon describes the list as partial and explicitly says it is not a field guide. The notice is evidence of a local conservation appeal and information campaign, not proof that every listed species occurred on Beaver Island or a current legal taxonomy or status determination.
