The Quetico Foundation continues to sponsor research and publications. In each of the last four summers, the Foundation has employed students to conduct research in the Park on the effects of naturally occurring forest fires (1997-8) and on the natural elements of the Park (The Forest Inventory Project) (1999-2000). The Foundation has also sponsored archaeological research in the Park and continues to fund historical research leading to publications on the history of Quetico Park and the region surrounding it.
