The Watershed Foundation 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-Winona area. Over the past 20 years, TWF has worked with farmers and lake residents to implement over 200 water quality improvement projects. In the last three years alone, these efforts have prevented over 556 million pounds of weeds and algae from growing in area lakes and streams, according to a news release from TWF.
