WACF: Working for Cleaner Waters by Beth Morris, chairman of WACF’s Ecology Committee
We’ve all heard the old adage, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” The adage is applicable to our area lakes, as well. When we really think about life at the lake—families, traditions, recreation, renewal—we realize that the water quality of our lakes is, indeed, a precious commodity. 24

We need look no farther than Grand Lake Saint Marys (Ohio) or Lake Erie to see the negative impact that excess nutrients and sediment have on water quality. The Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation (WACF) believes it’s important to be proactive in understanding what is happening with regard to the natural aging process in our lakes, and to take action to help these efforts. As such, WACF has implemented on-the-ground conservation projects, forging partnerships, and helping people understand how to help keep our beautiful lakes clean for future generations.
