Natural Shoreline Landscapes
on Michigan’s Inland Lakes A workshop for property owners
Natural shorelines provide multiple benefits to our inland lakes. Natural shoreline landscaping can enhance or restore those benefits by reducing runoff, deterring geese, stabilizing soils, and improving fish and wildlife habitat while maintaining aesthetically pleasing access to your lake. Already have a rock or sea wall? Learn how to enhance those structures for the benefit of your lake.
Workshop topics include:
· Healthy lake ecosystems
· Designing natural landscapes on lake shorelines
· Identifying problems with high impact landscape methods
· Use of native plants in shoreline landscapes
· State of Michigan rules and regulations
