Summary

In December 2020, the Beaver Island Association asked for year-end donations, stating that cancellation of the seventh annual Warblers on the Water birding festival had left substantial preparation costs unrecovered. The appeal also outlined the association’s governance, communications, conservation, and community-support priorities.
