Summary

On November 21, 1972, the St. James and Peaine Township Boards, interested citizens, and conservation-agency personnel met at the Beaver Island Community School. The meeting explained possible technical and financial assistance for landowners and local government and encouraged island programs and projects.

Evidence and limits

The Beacon names participating agencies and personnel but does not supply minutes, applications, funding commitments, project approvals, or evidence that any proposed program was implemented.

Open questions

  • Are minutes, handouts, or follow-up applications from the meeting preserved?
  • Which assistance programs, if any, were later pursued on Beaver Island?
