Caring for Torch
Every season offers something new to appreciate about Torch – but also the same reminder:
We must take steps to care for the place we love.
Each year, more people visit, more development occurs, and more pressure is placed on our watershed.
At Torch Conservation Center, we’re committed to caring for this place we cherish, so its magic can be experienced by generations to come.
Join our efforts to make lake-friendly choices and actively care for the future of Torch Lake.

Many homes in the Torch Lake Watershed rely on septic systems, but because they’re underground, it’s easy to forget they’re there. A little routine maintenance can go a long way toward protecting your home, your drinking water, and the lake we all enjoy.
