Great Lakes Steward Ship Initiative Northeast Michigan

It is our mission at Huron Pines to conserve and enhance Northern Michigan’s natural resources to ensure healthy water, protected places and vibrant communities. For over 45 years, our work across the forests, lakes and streams of Northern Michigan has helped improve economic, environmental, educational and recreational opportunities. When we engage people in conservation stewardship, we support sustainable, empowered communities rich with protected natural resources.

Huron Pines is a non-profit conservation organization serving Northeast Michigan. Through on-the-ground projects such as river restoration and invasive species management, Huron Pines connects communities, resource agencies, and local governments to find solutions to natural resource issues. As part of a Great Lakes Fisheries Trust grant, Huron Pines is excited to be a resource to inland schools in implementing Place-based Stewardship Education (PBSE) efforts! Huron Pines can help schools connect with community partners, provide guidance on establishing a PBSE program, and support teachers throughout the year in implementing lessons and projects. Our on-the-ground efforts in water and land conservation can provide fun and meaningful opportunities for students to participate in resource stewardship in their own communities.
