Summary
Little Traverse Conservancy’s Stewardship Committee reportedly decided on January 24, 2013, that a newly donated 173-acre Scully property addition to Barney’s Lake Nature Preserve would not be open to hunting. The quoted response said hiking, non-motorized travel, fishing, wildlife observation, and similar uses remained allowed.
Evidence limits
The forum preserves an institutional response quoted by a local poster. It does not include the deed, preserve map, or committee resolution, so the exact legal boundary and enforceable rule should be verified against Conservancy records.
