Who is the Bad River Watershed Association? The Bad River Watershed Association (BRWA) is a community organization that works to involve all citizens in taking care of and enjoying their home watershed. We accomplish this by conducting educational programs and forums about how our watershed can be affected by the decisions we make. In addition, we assist citizens to gather information, identify problems and implement solutions to maintain the integrity of our watershed for future generations. If you live within the Bad River watershed, you are a member of the BRWA. People who live outside the watershed and support our goals may also request to be associate members. Our Vision Statement The Bad River Watershed Association envisions a future in which change and development within the watershed grow from a stewardship ethic that seeks to minimize ecological damage, while maximizing ecological and community health. Our Mission Statement The mission of the Bad River Watershed Association is to promote a healthy relationship between the people and the natural communities of the Bad River Watershed by involving all citizens in assessing, maintaining, and improving watershed integrity for future generations.
