Who We Are

The Twin Lakes Restoration Association (TLRA) is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the beauty and functionality of Twin Lakes. Our mission is to provide advocacy and leadership to restore, enhance, and improve the area, making it an even better place to live and visit.

Our Activities

We organize and sponsor several key activities each year, including:

  • Garage Sale Day in June.
  • Clean Up Day at the end of June.
  • Providing weekly mosquito spraying as needed.

Community Engagement

TLRA actively collaborates with local experts and officials to ensure the success and sustainability of our initiatives. Recently, we have consulted with:

  • Ben Wallace, Fisheries Biologist, Fisheries Bureau, DNR
  • Jacob Schaben, NW District Supervisor, Parks, Forestry, and Preserves Bureau, DNR
  • Curtis Vanderheiden, Director, Calhoun County Conservation

Get Involved

We rely on your continued support and enthusiasm to make these projects possible. Your involvement, whether through volunteering, providing feedback, or participating in events, is crucial for our success. Let’s work together to make Twin Lakes not just a place we live or visit, but a place where we create lasting memories.
