Summary

The Beaver Island Archipelago Trails Association announced a September 7, 2017 volunteer work session to clear Buffalo Camp Trail, with a safety orientation and DNR releases required for participants.

Evidence limits

This record documents the planned work and safety conditions. The archive does not establish that the work session occurred or how much trail was cleared.

Open questions

  • Did the September 7, 2017 Buffalo Camp Trail clearing session take place, and how much of the trail was cleared?
  • The September 2018 workday report separately names Buffalo Camp Trail and the removal of large downed beech — was that new growth in the intervening year, or work left unfinished from this 2017 session?

If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
