Did you know that more than 60% of surface waters in Minnesota are impaired. The Big Pine Lake POA, along with Minnesota Lakes and Rivers (MLR), asks you to personally join in the advancement of laws, programs and funding to reverse this trend for the benefit of our lakes.
It is up to each of us to advocate in protecting our shorelines. MLR has various tools on their website to help each of us communicate with our legislators and local media. You can track the bills that are being reviewed and review and analyze the legislation. In fact, MLR has a full-time lobbyist working at the capital. MLR’s Citizens Action Network (CAN) offers a “one click” system that allows you to contact elected officials through email. Through MLR’s email system, voices can be heard through its thousands of emails sent by lake advocates. This can create change.
