Protecting Our Lakes,
Protecting Our Future.
When our lakes are healthy, our communities thrive. The Watershed Foundation protects them through community engagement, powerful conservation partnerships, and innovative pollution solutions. We take action for their future – and ours.
Our Work
Our waters are troubled.
Invasive species, development, pollution, and other challenges all threaten the long-term health of our lakes and surrounding communities. That’s why we take a big-picture, proactive approach to protecting the Upper Tippecanoe River Watershed from ever-changing threats. To solve water quality problems, we go to their source: the surrounding land, our watershed.
Our Land and Lakes
We focus our efforts on the Upper Tippecanoe River Watershed,
a land area that covers 236 square miles spanning parts of Kosciusko, Noble, and Whitley counties. Our watershed alone contains over 60 lakes, many creeks and streams, and the Tippecanoe River.
Our Impact
We've taken action for healthy lakes since 1997.
The lakes in our community contribute over $313 million annually to our local economy — just one way the health of our watershed impacts the quality of our lives. Together with our partners and supporters, we’re making a measurable difference for our most precious resource: clean water.
