Summary
In January 2015, the Beaver Island Wildlife Club announced a seven-acre Priority Young Forests habitat-improvement project on State land adjacent to the Johnny Martin Trail off East Side Drive. The notice described work with the Ruffed Grouse Society and Michigan Department of Natural Resources and invited volunteers to meet on Wednesdays and Saturdays, weather permitting.
Evidence limits
This is a detailed first-party volunteer notice. It establishes the planned scope, collaborators, access, and safety expectations, but the archive does not contain a completion report or a final treatment map. The separate February 2015 bid notice for a 20-acre site south of Hannigan’s Road may concern related habitat work, but the forum records do not establish that the two projects are the same.
Open questions
- Was the seven-acre Priority Young Forests project off the Johnny Martin Trail completed, and to what final treatment?
- Is the February 2015 bid notice for a 20-acre site south of Hannigan’s Road the same project, or a separate one?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.

- A Wildlife Club notice said that, with the Ruffed Grouse Society and MDNR, the Club would begin a seven-acre Priority Young Forests habitat project on State land adjacent to the Johnny Martin Trail off East Side Drive. It invited volunteers on Wednesdays and Saturdays, subject to weather, and gave chainsaw-safety and access instructions. The notice documents the planned work and volunteer call, not its completion.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 08 · t008363
