LGTLO Pre-Campaign Poll

As part of our exciting new “Let’s Get The Lead Out (LGTLO)” initiative to protect our iconic loons and keep toxic lead fishing tackle out of Drag and Spruce Lakes, we’re launching a short poll to gauge current awareness and attitudes among our community.

Your honest responses will help us:
• Establish a baseline understanding of what members already know about lead risks to wildlife (especially loons).
• Track progress and demonstrate the real impact of our 2026 education, swap events, drop-offs, and awareness efforts.
• Strengthen our application/reporting for potential Local Initiatives funding or similar grants, showing measurable community engagement and change.

The poll takes just 2-3 minutes. We’ll share key results with everyone later this year.

Thank you for taking a moment to help safeguard our pristine lakes and the wildlife that calls them home. Your voice matters!
