Native Lakescapes

 

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.
