About The Watershed Foundation

TWF was founded in 1997 to protect and improve water quality in the upper Tippecanoe River Watershed, spanning from Crooked Lake in Whitley County to the Warsaw and Winona Lake area. During the past 26 years, TWF has worked with farmers and lake residents to implement more than 325 water quality improvement projects in Whitley, Noble & Kosciusko County. In the last five years alone, these efforts have prevented more than one billion pounds of weeds and algae from growing in area lakes and streams.
