About This Program

The Restore Your Shore program will enable you to:

  • Develop a deeper understanding of shoreland ecosystems.
  • Learn from other shoreland owners' experiences.
  • Design, implement and enjoy your own shoreland project.

While Restore Your Shore is primarily about lakeshores, the information also applies to managing shorelines along rivers, streams, wetlands, and even stormwater retention ponds.

"The shoreline tells all, about the water
What there is to do, what there is for you.
Without habitat, without vegetation,
Nothing can live, the lake will be through.
Oh dragonflies and leopard frogs, you're what I'm looking for.
The shoreline is a home for you when we take care of it more..."
