The land, water and wildlife of the Lake Huron Watershed are at risk. Advancing land development, flooding from severe weather events, the spread of invasive species and increased sediment and pollution from stormwater runoff are all contributing to the degradation of our waterways and wildlife habitat.

Our namesake, with the longest shoreline of the Great Lakes, Lake Huron supports unique and imperiled ecosystems full of rare plant and animal species that exist nowhere else on Earth. The northern shores of Lake Huron host the most important migratory bird pathway in North America and are home to the endangered Hine's emerald dragonfly, imperiled piping plover and Michigan's rare state wildflower, the dwarf lake iris.

We need to raise a minimum of $1,000,000 over the next two years to protect the Great Lakes — because forever starts today.

Huron Pines inspires community-driven change through our grass-roots efforts. We can see the organizational vision of conservation driven by engaged, empowered communities come to life in our work to protect Northern Michigan and the Great Lakes each day. There is no denying that the Great Lakes are vital to Michigan’s ecology and economy and to the social and physical well-being of the people who call Michigan home. In short, these Great Lakes are our greatest focus.
