... for Developers and Land Owners working 
for reasonable watershed regulations.

Meet MAWR

Minnesota Association of Watershed Responsibility

Vision

We represent the landowners and developers who
are regulated by watershed districts, to advocate
for better protections from excessive, unreasonable
watershed regulations and promote landowner interest
at the legislature

Values

Bring the issue of watershed overreach to the capitol.
Encourage the legislature to require watersheds to
do cost benefit balancing before adopting new rules, limit excessive
buffers, which waste land resources, eliminate “pre-settlement”
standards, limit private maintenance declarations, and protect the
existing water rights of permit holders and land owners.

Testimonials

We have had well-respected local lobbyist, Reid LeBeau, introduce the “Watershed Permit Holder’s Bill of Rights”.

We are working with chairs of committees and members to understand
the issue and the need for the bill. Meet with Legislators to increase awareness to the issue and garner support for the bill.

 

We are lobbying leadership in both bodies, the Governor’s office and at the agency level to promote protections for you.

 

Build a network of developers and landowners who can share education and best watershed district management practices (BWDMPS!)

We need you!

 

Until now the only voice at the capitol was the watershed’s lobby. Legislators have no idea how aggressive and destructive some metropolitan watersheds have become.

We need you to join us to be a voice of reason.
Together we can make a difference!
