Summary

The Little Traverse Conservancy asked owners to remove unused or unclaimed boats from Barney’s Lake Nature Preserve in July 1999. The notice framed the request as a way to protect the preserve’s natural character while allowing permitted boat storage.

Evidence limits

The notice does not identify which boats were removed or document later management results.
