Project: Pick up fishing line mission is to empower individuals who care about nature to actively contribute to creating safer habitats for waterfowl, birds, and other wildlife in our lakes and rivers through clean-up efforts to remove discarded fishing gear.
Getting involved is both easy and impactful. By staying vigilant during your visits to lakes and rivers, you can help identify and remove discarded fishing gear. Your actions can spark change! When you post and share your efforts in our Facebook group, you inspire others and shine a light on problem areas that need urgent attention. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for our wildlife.
