The Wisconsin Northwoods
The Northwoods of Wisconsin are filled with interesting habitats and abundant flora and fauna. However, to date little research as been done in the area. We aim to conserve this important ecosystem through education, research and global outreach.

About Project NorthwoodsThe Northwoods of Wisconsin covers the northern one-third of the state and is renowned for its richness of unique habitats, biodiversity and culture, while remaining remote and relatively underpopulated. With over 1.5 million acres of protected National Forest, plus numerous managed reserves, state forests and state parks, this is an ideal location to better understand our natural world and the interaction humans have on their surroundings. Project Northwoods aims to conserve the ecology and culture of the Wisconsin Northwoods through education, research and global outreach. Our programs educate students of all ages, including early learners, K-12, college students and adults. Our research projects utilize the knowledge of locals and long-time seasonal visitors, and benefit the many threatened and endangered species of flora and fauna that are found in the Northwoods, some of which have geographic ranges no larger than the boundaries of these specific forests. Our outreach programs educate people from around the world, especially focusing on tourists to the area, about the importance of these forests, the native species and the rich cultures found throughout the area. Any opportunity to get people outside and appreciating the out-of-doors is utilized to teach about our local environment and its role in the global ecological community.
