THE TREC FOUNDATION HAS FUNDED NUMEROUS RESEARCH PROJECTS THROUGH OUR PARTNERS
TREC serves as a center for research -- contributing to conservation efforts and promoting environmental awareness, helping to preserve the unparalleled beauty of Presque Isle and Lake Erie, the site of Pennsylvania's only seashore.
While some facilities along the Great Lakes offer environmental education and others do research, none offer research, education, and visitor services in one place, making TREC a unique destination for learning, wonder, and fun.
