Purpose:

The Superior Rivers Watershed Association's mission is to promote and protect clean water resources in Wisconsin's Lake Superior basin. We envision a future where citizens are stewards of their watershed. Our work is guided by our belief in and commitment to expanding scientific understanding, engaging citizens, informed decision-making, and collaborative efforts.
