Muskoka Watershed Council 🍃 Science. Stewardship. Sustainability.
⏳ Volunteers protecting Muskoka’s watersheds since 2001.
👇 Visit our website to get involved!

Muskoka Watershed Council was founded in 2001 and was incorporated as a non-profit in 2019. MWC was formed with the belief that the most effective way to sustain our watersheds for future generations is through a cooperative approach. MWC’s approach to watershed management in Muskoka is to involve as many of the stakeholders in Muskoka’s watersheds as possible. MWC is not a regulatory or enforcement agency. Instead, it provides information to decision-makers, managers and the general public on ways to protect and restore the resources of our watersheds. MWC's mission is to empower the community to protect and enhance watershed health.

The Bobolink is currently listed as threatened in Ontario. Early hay cutting during nesting season is one of the biggest drivers of population decline, and without changes to land management, threatened can easily become endangered.

Your support helps us track this data and report on what it means for Muskoka's grasslands.

The Least Bittern is currently listed as threatened in Ontario. Wetland loss is the main driver, and without real habitat protection, threatened can become endangered.

Your support helps us track this data and report on what it means for Muskoka's wetlands.

Last month we looked at what's actually shaping Muskoka: who controls the waterfront, what the community is learning about watershed management, and the geological forces that built this landscape long before any of us got here.

Four articles. One question underneath all of them—what kind of Muskoka are we building toward?

People are often surprised to learn how small our organization is.

MWC runs on a single part-time staff member and numerous volunteers who attend events, evaluate data, write articles, and keep tabs on the nature that defines this region.

Imagine what we can accomplish with your support. Visit our website if you're interested in volunteering:
