Summary
Peaine Township announced a June 6, 2017 meeting to form the Beaver Island Archipelago Trails Association. The proposed voluntary group would care for, maintain, and improve archipelago trails, work with the DNR on public-land designation and signage, and seek future grants.
Evidence limits
The forum establishes the public invitation and the proposed purpose. It does not establish that the association was formally constituted, incorporated, or that later trail work was performed by this group.
Open questions
- Did the July 13, 2017 follow-up meeting lead to the association’s formal incorporation, and does a founding document or bylaws record survive?
- Who were the association’s first elected officers once it organized?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
