We're all stakeholders with a say in how we treat these valuable public resources. By adding your voice through this survey, you are helping them communicate the importance of our lakes and beaches as neighborhood assets worth improving.  Be sure to learn more about what you can personally do to help by checking out The Clean Lakes Alliance's Top 10 Ways to Help the Lakes at Home.
