Our Mission
The Tenmile Lakes Basin Partnership is a community based cooperative endeavor involving industry, local citizens, natural resource agencies, Native American tribes, and conservation groups to protect, encourage and enhance the use of natural resource principles that promote ecosystem health and diversity.
Through community involvement and education, this partnership supports management of all land and water in a manner that sustains natural resources and that, in turn, will contribute to environmental vitality and community betterment within the Tenmile Lakes Basin—from the farthest reaches of the watershed to the Pacific.
