All About Us
Originally known as The Mixedwood Forest Research and Advisory Committee, the Mixedwood Forest Society
[MFS] was founded in 1996 in Swan River, Manitoba, Canada by a small group of
dedicated people to promote a better understanding of a unique and fascinating ecosystem, the Manitoba
Mixedwood Forest. Since these humble beginnings, The Mixedwood Forest Society has
grown into a registered charity with members across Canada supporting projects ranging from studies
on cavity-nesting species to ecotourism.
Moving into the new millennium, MFS has taken a more active role in promoting research in Manitoba`s
mixedwood forests. In 1999, the Goldeneye Field Station and Education Centre was founded
on the shores of Wellman Lake in the Duck Mountains of Manitoba.
The field station has gone on to house researchers from five universities across the three Canadian
Prairie Provinces and plans are in the works for expanding its role in research and education in
western Manitoba.
