The Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve is an environmental organization in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, founded in 1995. YDWP owns and cares for over 2300 acres of forested property within the Yellow Dog Watershed. Our volunteer land stewardship program watches over these lands and any activities throughout the area. While our organization has always incorporated an education and outreach program, in 2016 we launched the YDWP Nature School to provide outdoor educational programs for local schools and public alike. Lastly, we are environmental advocates and work to protect the watershed from threats like sulfide mining or other threats that might be detrimental to the watershed’s health.
