We present the first results of an ongoing survey of the linear polarization properties of symbiotic stars. With these multifilter optical measurements, we aim to obtain a statistically significant sample from which to study the nature and geometrical arrangement of their circumstellar matter and its relationship to the stellar components. Up to now, the observations show.
