CLEAN's mission: To be the resource and advocate for water quality improvements to enhance lives and sustainability within the watershed of Silver Lake  

CLEAN'S VISION:   CLEAN@SilverLake was founded in 2018 as a not-for-profit (501c3 designation) organization focusing on the health and vitality of the Silver Lake ecosystem.  The all-volunteer CLEAN team is led by stakeholders with a wide array of complementary backgrounds and expertise. The CLEAN team strives to bring together municipal leaders, educators, soil, water and native plant experts, farmers, and Lake District residents in partnership to effectively address problems within the watershed that impact the Silver Lake ecosystem. The types of problems that CLEAN tackles are best addressed by a dedicated, highly focused team that effectively raises and leverages funds, creates realistic comprehensive plans, and provides the physical labor to execute these plans.
