Restoring Lake Eden's Shoreline

We all need clean water to thrive. But when the land around a body of water has been disturbed–as Lake Eden’s shoreline has–this can create challenges for water quality and wildlife.  In their natural states, lakes are usually surrounded by plants of all kinds: trees, shrubs, grasses, and flowering plants that act as the water’s first line of defense from potential hazards. These plants serve many functions: 

​

• Prevent pollutants from entering the water 

• Provide habitat for wildlife

• Keep soil in place & prevent erosion 

• Improve flood resilience

​

Shoreline restoration involves revegetating the shoreland with plants, where they can provide these natural benefits.    We’re highlighting shoreline restoration efforts happening on Lake Eden!  Check out the brochure below for more information - link.
