Watershed Stewardship Groups

Watershed stewardship groups take community-level action to safeguard water sources. These groups are community, volunteer-based partnerships actively engaged in environmental stewardship of local subwatersheds. Members of these groups include individuals, organizations, agriculture, industry, municipalities and other forms of local government that set common goals to achieve shared outcomes.

NSWA also has a Lake Stewardship webpage with more resources and information.

This stewardship group is a not-for-profit, volunteer-driven organization. It was created by concerned lake residents committed to the health of Antler Lake, and the Antler Lake watershed.

With the increase of members that become involved with this group, the greater the possibility for keeping Antler Lake healthy and beautiful.
