The Friends of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, or Friends of the Porkies for short, were awarded a DNR Partner in Conservation award for their numerous efforts in improving the park and organizing events that take place there. The Friends of the Porkies are behind many things at the park such as new signs and trail improvements in 2004, organizing the Porcupine Mountains Music Festival since 2005, creating the Porcupine Mountain Folk School in 2006, and constructing a timber frame cabin which required over 4,000 volunteer hours. Mary Dettloff, public information officer for the DNR, comments.
