The mission of the Edinboro Lake Watershed Association (ELWA) is to work for the restoration, protection, enhancement, and sustainable development of the Edinboro Lake watershed.

The ELWA will accomplish these aims by:

·  Involving citizens, landowners, businesses, non-profit organizations, and government in developing and carrying out a plan to ensure the continual improvement of water quality in the Edinboro Lake watershed.

·  Raising public awareness of the recreational, cultural, and environmental resources of the watershed.

· Soliciting the funds necessary to carry out its mission from appropriate public and private sources.
