The Leelanau Watershed Council was established in the summer of 1989 as a working partnership between the four major lake associations in Leelanau County, the Conservation District and the Leelanau Conservancy. The water resources of our county are a public treasure demanding judicial stewardship and leadership that is representative and sensitive to the concerns of all patrons.

The Watershed Council operates programs that will preserve and enhance the aquatic resources of Leelanau County. Our specific objectives are:

To conduct a long term, objective water quality data monitoring program incorporating an optimum mix of research and program applications for resource management.

To establish programs that deal with specific threats to public and wildlife use of our lakes and streams.
