Greenbelt Native Plant Opportunities
Last month the Michigan Natural Shoreline Partnership introduced the Michigan Shoreland Stewards program (www.mishorelandstewards.org). The Program provides recognition for lakefront property owners who are protecting inland lakes through best management practices on their property. Riparian property owners can take an online survey to rate their shoreland properties. A permanent sign is available for purchase for those who qualify as gold, silver, or bronze level Shoreland Stewards. As part of the Greenbelt Initiative, property owners who take the Shoreland Steward survey before and after they install their greenbelt kit will be eligible to get a Shoreland Steward sign -free of charge (up to a $38 value)- one year after implementation. More information will be available at the DLIA Annual Meeting, Sun. Aug. 21 2pm, at the UMBS Gates Lecture Hall.  
The Project Native plant sale runs from August 1 - August 15.

US 31 Construction begins August 15
The MDOT office in Gaylord said a US 31 project will start on August 15th and extend possibly through October.  Construction will begin from Douglas Lake Road, at the Emmet County Airport, through Pellston and end at Milton Street north of Alanson.  There will be intermittent lane closures, with stop sign control, which will result in a single lane for travel. There could be considerable traffic back-ups during heavy travel periods, especially through Labor Day.  All DLIA members who travel this route could be affected and may want to consider alternative routes into Petoskey such as Red School Road and Pleasant View Road.
