| Short Description |
Shoreline landscaping can have a big impact on lake swimming, boating, and fishing. Why? Because nutrients and toxins from stormwater run-off, pesticides, and fertilizers can lower water quality, trigger algae blooms, kill fish, and cause excess weed growth. This focus sheet provides some helpful tips on lake-friendly landscaping which reduces the need for pesticides and fertilizers, helps filter harmful contaminants before they pollute your lake, and helps control erosion. | |
