The Peoples’ Choice Award winner, “Frog on Big Chapman,” was taken by Zachary Hight. This photo garnered the most public votes throughout January.

TWF was founded in 1997 to protect and improve water quality in the Upper Tippecanoe River Watershed, spanning from Crooked Lake in Whitley County to the Warsaw-Winona Lake areas. Over the past 25 years, TWF has worked with farmers and lake residents to construct 200-plus water quality improvement projects. In the last six years alone, these efforts have prevented over 1 billion pounds of weeds and algae from growing in area lakes and streams, stated the release.
