12 April 1941 ~ The Grand Rapids Press reported the use of a "snobile" designed and built, not by a Chandler Township Charlevoix County person, but Blaine Brannon, superintendent of the Cusino game refuge in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Chandler Township, too, of course, has entertained variations of this type snow mobile, and other modes of transportation, over the years for purposes of recreation, as well as for studying the various flora and fauna, by agencies related to conservation, and to the Department of Natural Resources. The people of Chandler Township appreciate the Beauty of the township's surrounding Nature with the abundant flora and fauna, especially with 75% to 80% of the township's land being owned by the State of Michigan... thus the people of Chandler Township tread lightly on the land; just as is wished for the actions of many visitors to Chandler Township.
