Summary
In September and October 2014, Pam Grassmick organized volunteer work at Little Sand Bay involving removal of small trees and vegetation from a creek bank. A follow-up reported that 50 feet of creek bed was cleared after consultation with MDNR and the Little Traverse Conservancy to improve habitat for the Michigan monkeyflower.
Evidence limits
The forum provides a volunteer call and organizer follow-up, but not independent ecological monitoring, a formal project record, or evidence that the plant later returned.
