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 one of us to advocate in protecting our shorelines. MNLR has various tools ob their website to help each of us communicate with our legislators and local media. We are able to track the bills that are being reviewed and review and analyze the legislation. In fact, MLR has a lobbyist working at the capital on a full time basis. MLR’s CAN system, on their website, offers a “one click” system that allows you to contact your elected officials through email. Though MLR’s email system, lake advocates can be heard through its thousands of emails sent by lake advocates. This can affect change. All you need to do, is sign up using the following link to receive emails on current matters affecting our waters:
