A reward fund has been set up to help encourage people to come forward with
information leading to the perpetrators of this despicable wildlife crime.
Please consider donating to help grow the fund. Support our Washington
native Common Loons. And, please know that several hunting and sporting
organizations have already donated over $5,500. The NW Swan Conservation
Association donated $500.
