In 1995 a press release on the just finished project known as the Environmental Lab stated that it was a partnership project with the help of hundreds of volunteers including the Schoolcraft County Natural Resources and Agriculture Focus Group.
The Property for the 80 acre lab was donated by Manistique Township.
The Environmental Lab's purpose is for the environmental education of youths. The property is located within three miles of most of the county's schools and contains a wide variety of flora, fauna, topography, soils and stages of succession. Three state and federal grants, supported with local donations to match have allowed the project to develop and be successful.
