Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council Knocks Down Phragmites
After almost three years of hard, Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council, Emmet County and Lake Michigan shoreline owners have nearly knocked phragmites down.
When the program began in 2010, there were close to 300 separate phragmites stands spread across almost 7.5 acres in Emmet County. Now there are only 87 stands over 3 acres remaining. Property owners are allowed groom their beaches without a license, but in Emmet County they require a permit to remove phragmites or hire a person certified in using chemicals around water.
