Two day Invasive Species workshop on Beaver Island. The workshop is being held by the CAKE CISMA in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. It will be June 28th and June 29th. The intent of the workshop is to increase the capacity of Beaver Island residents to carry out invasive species ID and management along with educating other stake holders in preventing the spread of invasives to the archipelago.
Presentations and field trips are geared for property owners who wish to identify and control invasive species in the fields, forests, or yards.
From Tom Clements, CAKE Coordinator and Pam Grassmick
Speaking of our island plants, this comes to us from Pam Grassmick –
While driving, your eyes are needed to protect Showy Ladyslippers along the island’s roadways. I encourage people to be on the lookout for those who would remove our island’s orchids and report to our deputy (448-2700) or the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (989-732-3541). These plants are a legally protected species and are on Michigan’s Threatened Species List. While they are very beautiful, they require extremely specific growing conditions to grow. According to experts, the first year it may only grow as big as a pencil point, taking 14 to 17 years before its first bloom. Many visitors and residents have stopped to take photos and now unfortunately, the orchids are disappearing. Please do not remove orchids from their habitat. Thank you all for your assistance in preserving our natural heritage.

Squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, turtles and an occasional quail have been seen failing to yield to oncoming traffic, so again-
Hey, Let’s be careful out there. Especially in the school zone.
To Lucas and all our listeners, W.W. Ziege once wrote, “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” So quit with the stinking thinking if that’s your case and get on the good thoughts train.
