Protecting Michigan Wilderness

The black bear is often used as an indicator species for the overall health of a forest. ALC has protected old-growth pine forests in the Huron-Manistee National Forest, where black bears are under study.

ALC’s conservation efforts in Michigan have also included protecting wetlands for migratory birds and waterfowl, as well as conserving land near the AuSable River, a Wild and Scenic River that is among the nation's premier trout fishing streams.
