Serving the Watershed Since 1997
The Mille Lacs Lake Watershed Group* helps area landowners manage their property in ways that support the water quality of Mille Lacs Lake and its surrounding area.
Formed in 1997, we connect interested citizens with local and state agency experts and resources, provide educational materials, and inspire simple actions that can have a positive impact on our area’s land and waters.
*We dropped the word “Management” from our name in July, 2024.
