Summary
On December 13, 2022, the St. James Township Board authorized work with adjacent property owners to create easements for a future trail from the Township’s old DNR property to Gull Harbor Nature Area.
Evidence and limits
The action records authority to pursue easements and says that Little Traverse Nature Conservancy had shown support. It does not record a signed easement, named parcel, route, trail construction, public access, or a completed project.
Open questions
- Were the easements with adjacent owners ever executed, and which parcels do they cover?
- Was the trail from the Township’s old DNR property to Gull Harbor Nature Area built, and does it now provide public access?
- What form did Little Traverse Nature Conservancy’s stated support take — funding, land, or advocacy?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
