Our Mission
The mission of the Mt. Island Lake Wildlife Stewards is to preserve and increase wildlife and wildlife habitat of the Mt. Island Lake area through education, conservation and preservation of natural resources for today and future generations.
About Us
We are hikers, boaters, kayakers, outdoorsmen, lake enthusiasts, and many who call the Lake home. We are also a local chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation, a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 corporation. Local involvement in the welfare of wildlife and wildlife habitat, including water quality of the Lake, is our reason for being. We are involved by volunteering, educating our youth and aligning our energy with others working to make a difference in our local community.
We host public monthly meetings and encourage everyone to attend
- topics such as the History of Mt. Island Lake.
Programs
• Osprey nesting platforms have just recently been placed on the lake.
We need volunteers to monitor activity in those nest sites - see Events for how you can help.
• Cavity nesting bird boxes - construction, placement and monitoring.
• Installation of Fish Attractors
• Help clear protected land of invasive plants and vines.
• Learn how to create a Certified Backyard Habitat in your own back yard.
• Island Habitat Program
Field Trips provide members with opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with kindred spirits. Plans are in the works for full moon kayak expeditions, local camping, field trips and much more to come.
