Mount Arvon, Michigan Update…

Club Liasions Director Stony Burk informs us that “The logging has been completed at and around Mount Arvon at the Michigan highpoint. The road and Mt. Arvon MIberm were restored to original condition. A bit of a path was created to provide an outlook from the summit.”  (Photo by Tracey Barrett)

According to Tracey Barrett at Baraga County Convention & Visitors Bureau, “The trees this year were remarkable and we were busy because of it.”

You may remember Tracey as one of the three 2008Paul Zumwalt Award” winners awarded for her efforts in perserving their State Highpoint.
