About the Initiative: Mission

The mission of the St. Joseph River Watershed Initiative Partnership is to promote economically and environmentally compatible land uses that improve water quality in the St. Joseph River watershed.

The Initiative, a non-profit partnership, exists to protect, restore and enjoy the St. Joseph River and its watershed, which stretches across 694,400 acres through six counties in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Since its inception in 1996, the Initiative has met its goals and is emulated by other watershed projects throughout the country.
