Saving Beaver Island: Locals work to preserve Lake Michigan archipelago
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- Deep in the heart of northern Lake Michigan is a string of islands absolutely brimming in ecological richness. Endangered Great Lakes piping plovers pitter-patter across the beaches. Threatened Pitcher’s thistle grows in such abundance it pops up in sand volleyball courts. Mature ash trees thrive and produce seeds, survivors of the statewide infestation of invasive emerald ash borer beetles. This beautiful place is facing threats to its ecosystem. Local islanders and scientists are committed to preserving Beaver Island and the surrounding islands for future generations.

Pam has done more for the conservation of the nature of Beaver Island than anyone I know of she deserves recognition of her work like no other. Such a great lady!
Shelby has been doing stellar work as well. She will be an island protector for years to come.
With two main entry points a good screening system along with educational posters might help .
I hope to visit

Piping plover has taken over

Honeymooned here 1985...
Looks like CMU cleared out many trees on prime lake Frontage for THEIR building's
Do you even know how much they have offered and provided for research into the islands ecosystem and well being?
@@messingwithstupidity , you mean CMU buys "carbon offsets" for their muddy feet? Well, THAT changes everything! "You see, if you shoot pool with some employee here, you can come and borrow money"--meaning, if you shill for the PC viewpoint ("non-native species"; "climate change"), you can get a 🌈waiver for whatever "the unbaptized" aren't PERMITTED to do. Sucks for the honest taxpayer🎱...again.
Just found out this place exists thanks to Theo Von!!
