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.
