We work collaboratively to understand the relationship between the lake and the watershed
We are on a mission to protect and enhance the water quality within the Long Lake Watershed!

The Long Lake Watershed covers over 7,619 acres, and includes seven lakes
Wetlands filter our water throughout the entire watershed
Forests filter and regulate the flow of water
