Mike Mills founded Buffalo Outdoor Center in 1976. A log cabin resort and canoe rental using passive solar, recycling and wood heat for energy savings. He has been involved in many Arkansas organizations including the Arkansas Hospitality Association, Arkansas Tourism Development Foundation, Arkansas Canoe Club, Ozark Society, Buffalo River Marketing Association, Ozark Mountain Region Association, Arkansas Parks and Tourism Commission, Arkansas 4-H Foundation, America Outdoors, and many others.

In 2005 as gas prices soared, Mike erected the first wind generator to be hooked to the grid in Arkansas. The Ozark Mountains are a class 4 wind site and perfect for wind generation of electricity. Water saving recycling systems added in 2007.

Our goal is to preserve energy resources for future generations by using recycling systems and wind /solar powered products.
