Weather station upgrades are planned for the upcoming weeks. New data will include more water temperature at various depths as well as oxygen monitoring. This chain of lakes loses oxygen in the lower waters earlier in the season than expected, so this will help us understand why this happens.

Our Mission

Our mission is forest, wildlife & fish habitat preservation. We have a certified forest management plan in order to bring back the pines to the shores of Wabana and old-growth hardwoods in the uplands. We work actively on preserving and enhancing fish habitat and spawning areas along nearly a mile of shoreline. Our forest and water stewardship work together to help keep Wabana’s waters clear and healthy for all.

Donate

Your generous donation helps plant trees, improve water quality protection, enhance fishing, and operate the Wabana weather station.

Volunteer

Let us know if you would like to help with our work in the forest or in the water. Perhaps you will also learn things you can apply on your land and shore.

Adopt-a-shore

If you would like to sponsor the protection of a 50, 100 or 200 feet of natural shore, we would welcome your commitment and place a tasteful sign honoring your help.
