Summary

The Beaver Island Wildlife Club and Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced habitat-improvement work on State land southwest of the Johnny Martin gravel pit off East Side Drive for April 8, 2017. The notice called the work an “Early Successional Forests Project” and recruited volunteers with chainsaws.

Evidence limits

This is a detailed first-party volunteer notice. It establishes the planned location, collaborators, supplies, and safety procedure, but does not establish that the work occurred, its acreage, or its later wildlife effects.
