The SWP Receives State Award!

The Michigan Outdoor Writers Association has chosen the Superior Watershed Partnership as the 2009 recipient of its Clean Waters Award, recognizing the organization's commitment to preserving, protecting and enhancing the watersheds of the Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron basins.

The award was presented during the SWP member appreciation night at 5:30 p.m. on June 11 at Upfront and Company in downtown Marquette.

Based in Marquette, the Superior Watershed Partnership is considered the regional leader in Great Lakes protection for Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Over the past 15 years, SWP has grown from a single citizen-based watershed council to a network of more than 20 watershed groups. The group's mission is to promote responsible individual and community actions that ensure a sustainable environment, encourage a sustainable economy, and help improve quality of life.
