The foundation supports preservation and enhancement of the natural and cultural resources of the five national parks located around the Big Lake – Grand Portage National Monument in Minnesota; Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin; and the Keweenaw National Historical Park, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Isle Royale National Park in Michigan.
The foundation has raised funds for a number of projects in each of the parks, ranging from bear-resistant food lockers on several islands in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore to stabilizing the Menagerie Island Lighthouse in Isle Royale National Park to printing of a Junior Range book for the Keweenaw National Historical park.
Cindy and Paul Hayden, publishers of Lake Superior Magazine, were among those who started the foundation in 2006, and the magazine continues to be a supporter.
Members of the foundation board come from around the Lake. Here are the board members, along with the five park superintendents, who came for the board meeting in May 2012:
