Summary

The September 1964 Beaver Beacon forecast an excellent deer season and ideal partridge conditions on Beaver and Garden Islands. It also expected rabbits, ducks, and geese to be plentiful. The issue says trails and clearings on Garden Island were being opened for the Conservation Department, with completion expected by October 1.

Evidence and limits

This is a seasonal outlook and in-progress work notice, not a wildlife census, harvest record, agency work order, or completed habitat assessment. The related Garden Island article preserves the clearing work as its own narrower record.
