For Researchers

The Huron Mt. Wildlife Foundation supports scientific study of the natural systems of the Lake Superior region generally, placing particular emphasis on the Huron Mountains and surrounding areas. The Foundation:
    - provides approved researchers access to the privately owned Huron Mt. Club reserve,
    - offers housing and logistical support at the Ives Lake Research Station (see Facilities page), and
    - offers small grants for a limited number of research projects.

ALL researchers wishing to use the Ives Lake Station or the Huron Mt. Club lands for research, regardless of whether funding is requested, MUST submit a research proposal to the Director of Research.  The target date for proposals is 1 February of each year.  This target must be met for HMWF funding to be considered.  Later proposals not requesting HMWF funds may be entertained if facilities permit.    Click the 'Guidelines' link to the left  for specific information about proposal preparation.

It may be possible to arrange short exploratory visits for research planning purposes; prior arrangements for such visits must be made through the Director of Research.

Instructions and guidelines for research proposals and for researchers working at the Hurons may be found in the following documents.  Please read them carefully.
