Summary

In April 2018, a Beaver Island Wildlife Club notice solicited property owners for a planned distribution of roughly 100 Dunstan chestnut trees. Recipients were expected to plant at least two for pollination, provide care, and monitor growth; fencing was to be provided.

Evidence limits

The forum notice establishes the proposal and stated conditions. It does not establish how many trees were distributed or survived, or whether the initiative produced a measurable ecological result.

Sources

  1. The notice announced an April 19 Wildlife Club meeting and solicited island property owners interested in receiving free Dunstan chestnut trees. It stated that about 100 trees were being obtained, with fencing provided and recipients responsible for care. It establishes a planned distribution, not the number planted, survival, or long-term ecological effect.
