Designing Shoreland Stewardship Packets: a Guide for Wisconsin Lake Organizations
Table of Contents
Many lakeshore property owners buy their lots because they enjoy nature, but then unknowingly harm shorelands and shallows by replacing natural vegetation with lawns, clearing brush and trees, importing sand to make artificial beaches, and installing expansive structures very close to the water’s edge.
Small actions by individuals may seem to have little measurable effect in and of themselves, yet many small impacts by many individuals within the watershed cumulatively add up and affect the quality of our lakes.
Wisconsin lake organizations play a vital role in defining the future of our lakes. Developing a shoreland stewardship packet is a great way for your lake organization to promote lake-friendly waterfront living. This guide is designed to help lake organizations create and distribute shoreland stewardship packets to promote lake-friendly waterfront living.
