Each year, more than 100,000 mammals die from ingesting debris or becoming entangled in fishing lines, nets, and other types of fishing gear.
Fishing line, regardless of what type, can cause serious damage when disposed of improperly. These problems stem from the fact that fishing line isn't biodegradable. Instead, it can remain in the environment for over 600 years!
Please do your part to stop this by recycling your fishing line and netting at a recycle station located at Fenimore Woods and Willows Park ponds and at Saw Mill Park near the fishing stream (more locations will be evaluated in the future).
