| How you help |
It takes not just six staff members, but a whole community of diverse experiences to lead us to our success and progress in land and lake protection. Whether you are participating in a committee, helping with important citizen science projects, or just hiking on your favorite preserve, our work truly depends on you. We are eternally grateful to have so many dedicated volunteers who lend a hand in so many ways. |
| About us |
The keen interest in protecting Walloon Lake dates back to the 1910’s when forward-thinking neighbors created the historical Walloon Lake Association. They began by collecting water samples – becoming the lake’s unofficial original guardians and establishing an everlasting commitment to water quality. Today, the WLAC continues this tradition of stewardship through water testing, shoreline surveys, invasive species monitoring, safety lessons, and overall lake management. Our work doesn’t stop there. It extends beyond the shoreline to Walloon Lake’s watershed –- the land surrounding the lake. We educate neighbors and visitors, offering hiking trails, and promoting environmental research and initiatives. All of which is directly supported by our dedicated members. |
