About Us
Our Mission
Ensure the long-term quality of the waters of Twin Lakes, by acting as a unifying voice for environmentally sound education and actions within the Lakes’ watershed area.
Our Vision
With the full engagement of all Twin Lakes watershed residents, having embraced their collective roles as Stewards of Twin Lakes, the pristine waters of the Lakes will be available for all future generations to enjoy.
Our Values:
Stewardship Community, Service, Collaboration, Sustainability.
stew·ard·ship (ˈstü-ərd-ˌship) noun: the job of taking care of something,…
Over the past century, the Twin Lakes Community has grown to almost 500 homes and (8) Property Owner Associations (POAs).
The Stewards of Twin Lakes serves as the organization that fosters this collaborative approach—creating an umbrella for education, coordination, and communication across all property owners and associations. By coming together as peers and working in unison, we can protect the precious ecosystem we all rely on, and that we all love.
The increase of the HOA’s over time has added more residents and more of a strain on our lakes.
Our Ask:
For Lake Management and Stewardship that all Twin Lakes residents and Twin Lakes Home Owners Associations work together equally to unify and to discuss lake and watershed decisions which affect all the communities and property owners.
Being A Part of the Future
Over the past century, the Twin Lakes Community has grown to nearly 500 homes and eight Property Owner Associations (POAs). While this growth has brought many benefits, it has also placed significant pressure on our shared natural resources—our lakes, water quality, air, and surrounding vegetation. Today, our lake water is showing serious signs of distress, and this is a challenge that affects us all.
Historically, each of our POAs has done well in addressing local issues, but to tackle the broader, interconnected ecological challenges we face, it’s clear that a collaborative, "intra-community" approach is necessary. Whether you live on the lakefront or further inland, the health of our ecosystem impacts everyone—regardless of where you live.
We are seeing firsthand how deeply interconnected our community is—and the negative consequences when we fail to act together. For example, the decision to treat lake invasive species with chemicals affects the entire water system; removing beavers and their dams disrupts the broader ecosystem; and changes to lake water levels can impact septic systems throughout the community.
We invite you to join us in this important work, and to contribute your ideas and talents as we work toward a healthier, more sustainable Twin Lakes for all.
