It's finally summer here on the Yellow Dog River. Flowers are blooming, animals are everywhere, and you should be too! All of us here at the Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve are residents and caretakers of this piece of paradise and we aim to keep it that way. Our mission is to preserve and protect the river in its natural state for the benefit of present and future generations.
The Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve is an environmental organization comprised of grassroots individuals who take environmental ethics to heart. We focus on informing the public about the watershed, conducting sound science, and protecting the resources from threats like sulfide mining. There are many pressures on the rivers and forests and we strive to balance the need for wild places with the necessities of humankind. This truly is one of the last unspoiled wilderness areas in the eastern United States.
Our watershed is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Baraga and Marquette County. It runs free and clean through wild country until it eventually reaches Lake Superior. This is how we want it to stay. Please take a look through our site and see how we do our part in keeping the wilderness wild.
