Report on Vegetation and Wildlife Habit at Present on Lands Owned by the Grand Traverse Resort in Sections 26,27,34,35 of Acme Township, Grand Traverse County, Michigan
Abstract
The following inventory of the vegetation and wildlife of
property owned by the Grand Traverse Resort in Sections 26, 27, 34,
and 35 of Acme Township, Grand Traverse County, Michigan was
undertaken by Dr. William C. Scharf at the request of attorney James
Olson on behalf of the owners. The purpose of this research was to
assist the owners in determining the suitability of the property for
development for recreational and resort use. I conducted field work
on five occasions in the late summer and early autumn of 1989: 02
September, 07 September, 27 September, 14 October, and 15
October. During the field work I transected the property on foot
while making visual identifications of some species and collecting
specimens of other species for more detailed microscope
examination in the laboratory. It should be noted that at the time
this study w as commissioned in late summer, many flowering plants
had finished blooming. Consequently, some identifications of such
species were based on vegetative parts, seeds, and in some cases on
my prior knowledge of this region and this property during the spring
season. The assessment of wildlife present on the property is based
upon the actual evidence observed on the site, and my considerable
experience with and knowledge of this area of the Grand Traverse
Region.
