The Comfort Lake-Forest Lake Watershed District (CLFLWD) operates as an environmental services organization focused on protecting and improving water resources within a roughly 49-square-mile watershed in northern Washington County and southern Chisago County, Minnesota. Its work centers on adaptive management and stakeholder education to address shoreline and water quality concerns for communities including Chisago City, Forest Lake, Scandia, and Wyoming, with the Sunrise River ultimately feeding into the St. Croix River. Based in Forest Lake, Minnesota, the district serves local municipalities and shoreline owners by providing technical guidance and educational resources to restore and safeguard shorelines and aquatic ecosystems. A recent development noted is the launch of a Comprehensive Shoreline Program, announced in September 2023, aimed at offering technical and financial resources to shoreline owners for restoration and protection efforts. The organization operates within the environmental services sector, coordinating watershed management activities and engaging local stakeholders to address water resource challenges.
