Huron Mountain Wildlife Foundation

Huron Mountain Wildlife Foundation

The Huron Mountain Wildlife Foundation is a not-for-profit organization with the sole mission of supporting research in ecology, geology, and other field sciences in the Lake Superior region. It was established over fifty years ago, and has supported a wide range of research focusing on the natural history of the Huron Mountains region. The Foundation maintains a field station at Ives Lake, near the town of Big Bay, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Ives Lake station is adjacent to the lands of the Huron Mountain Club, and most of the research supported by the Foundation takes place on the private lands of the Club, which constitute one of the largest private natural areas in the Great Lakes region. Access to Huron Mountain Club lands for research purposes must be approved via the Huron Mountain Wildlife Foundation.
