Summary

The Beacon urged readers to use Michigan’s loon-logo income-tax check-off to support habitat, education, and research for underfunded wildlife and plants.

Evidence limits

This is a public appeal and does not establish how much Beaver Islanders gave or how the state allocated the prior-year total.
