Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council is a nonprofit organization based in Petoskey, Michigan, dedicated to protecting the region’s water resources through advocacy, education, water quality monitoring, research, and restoration. The organization serves communities across Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, and Emmet Counties, as well as the broader Great Lakes Basin, by engaging residents, lake associations, and local businesses in efforts to preserve lakes, rivers, wetlands, and groundwater. Its work encompasses a wide range of resources, including extensive river systems, numerous lakes of varying sizes, and substantial wetland areas, with a focus on maintaining environmental integrity and the economic and aesthetic values of the water basins. Since its founding in 1979, the council has pursued a mission to empower others to effect meaningful improvements in water quality and watershed health. A recent development noted publicly includes community partnerships and collaborative events related to drug take-back programs and other conservation initiatives within the Michigan region.
