Survey says? Top 10 public opinion poll take aways about the Spokane River

A public opinion poll conducted in May found that 89% of people in Kootenai, Spokane, Stevens and Lincoln counties believe "we owe it to future generations to protect the Spokane River."

With a 4% margin of error, the survey was made possible by a Washington State Department of Ecology Public Participation Grant. Said the Forum's Executive Director, Andy Dunau, "There's a large, complex set of survey data available. For all of us working on various water quality and related issues, it gives really valuable insights to support effective public outreach efforts and engagement."

For a summary of the Forum's top ten take aways and links to full survey results, read more.
