Promote Stewardship with the Loon-Friendly Lake Registry Program

Participation in the Loon-Friendly Lake Registry Program is a great way to help loons!

The voluntary Loon-Friendly Lake Registry Program is a way for community members to make a commitment to loons on an individual lake. When you enroll in the program, our staff will work closely with you to develop and implement a Loon-Friendly Lake Plan.

What happens with a Loon-Friendly Lake Plan?

  • Document the history of loons on the lake
  • Consider changes to the lake in the last 10 or so years
  • Assess nesting, rearing, and foraging opportunities for loons
  • Consider barriers to loon success, such as human disturbance and predation
  • Make a connection to the MPCA Get the Lead Out! Program
  • Recommend voluntary actions to improve lake conditions for loons
