Native Lakescapes

Picture
Riparian design by J.Brueck
We now recognize how our activities from living along a shoreline can affect the health of a shoreland ecosystem.

Lawns stretched to the shoreline remove habitat for native animals. Removal of native vegetation--from upland trees to underwater plants--destroys natural cover and water quality protection. The chronic use of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides can contaminate the water and disrupt natural processes.

For more information on native lakescapes, please see the links below.
