Thank you for participating in the Be Green Great Lakes (BGGL) survey from the Division of Materials Management in the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). This survey is part of NYSDEC's BGGL project, a public education initiative regarding lawn care practices and water quality in the Great Lakes basin.

The focus of the project is the 33-county Great Lakes basin in New York State. Survey repsonses will help provide information about land care and outdoor pest management practices in that area. Survey responses are also welcome from New Yorkers statewide who maintain property, because land care and outdoor pest management decisions are important in all watersheds in the state

Your feedback is important to us. It should take about 10 minutes to complete the survey. Your responses will be confidential and not used for any purpose beyond the BGGL project.

The project is funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Federal Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. To learn more about the BGGL project go to http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/76234.html
