The Augustana Miquelon Lake Research Centre is an interdisciplinary nexus for various initiatives that intersect in a desire to foster a re-connection to place. Its facilities offer state of the art research equipment and opportunities, living quarters, meeting and recreational facilities in a physical environment that is quite remarkable all on its own!
Miquelon Lake is part of the Beaver Hills, and is a transitional area between two geographical land types, the aspen parklands and the boreal forest subregions. As such, the area holds many unique combinations of plant and animal life from either region. The area is also part of the Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve, allowing for some magnificent night sky viewing sessions! www.purple-martin.org provides the photo of the purple martin.
