We all have special places that form fond memories, harbor warm feelings, and leave us longing to go back. A family cabin on Torch Lake or the Boardman River where relatives gather for long summer days to swim in crystal blue waters, gather around sunset campfires, and gaze at the majestic Northern Lights. Long weekend trips with friends to ski through the woods on the VASA Trail or down the slopes at Shanty Creek, always leaving time to warm up by the fire. No matter where you live or visit in northern Michigan, you are surrounded by special places not found anywhere else.

The Watershed Center strives to protect and preserve the land and water that shape our special places. As our region experiences growth and change, we stand ready to respond immediately to matters that threaten our quality of life and continue to form sustainable solutions to protect water for generations to come.

If you value your special places and want to see them protected, we urge you to join us by making a financial contribution. Every gift strengthens our efforts, and we look forward to sharing that impact with you throughout the year.

Thank you for making an investment in clean water today so we can continue to protect clean water tomorrow.
