The Intermediate Lake Association Loon Platoon was formed to promote the successful breeding and growth of the lake's loon families. We accomplish this by:
Constructing artificial nesting platforms.
Placing the platforms, along with warning buoys, at appropriate places on the lake as soon as spring ice melts.
Encouraging responsible and non-intrusive enjoyment of observing loons from a distance.
Supporting banding efforts to track returning loons.
Removing and storing platforms and buoys for the winter.
Educating boaters, property owners, and visitors as to the fragile nature of the environment necessary for loon support.
