Shoreline Restoration

Native Shoreline RestorationNative shoreline habitat restorations are an excellent alternative tool compared to rock riprap to prevent lakeshore erosion, beautify shorelines, and generate habitat for pollinator species and fish nesting zones when aquatic plants are used. Native plants, when compared to traditional turf grasses have much deeper and more complex root structures; this is what gives natives the power to fight erosion and also to filter out harmful algae causing nutrients from lawn care products.

The District is currently working on building a shoreline program here in Pope County. There is great potential with the vast number of shoreline miles and lake residences located within the county.  There are currently 4 landowners with projects underway from a current grant. We have also submitted a grant application to the DNR for shoreline projects for 2014 and 2015.  We are currently seeking applicants to generate a list of interested individuals for the potential funding.  If you are interested in native restoration please contact us or call us at 320-634-5327.
