The Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve is an environmental organization based in Big Bay, Michigan, focused on preserving the Yellow Dog Watershed in its natural state for current and future public use. Founded in 1995, the group is driven by grassroots volunteers who emphasize environmental ethics, public education about the watershed, and protection of regional resources from threats such as sulfide mining. Operating in the Upper Peninsula across Baraga and Marquette Counties, the organization seeks to balance the preservation of wild places with human needs, highlighting the watershed’s connection to Lake Superior. It pursues its mission through programs and partnerships, including initiatives like MiCorps and the Yellow Dog Riverkeeper, and engages community members through membership and donations. A recent development involves collaboration with Bethmillner, announced in 2023, reflecting ongoing partnerships to support conservation efforts in the region.
