Join the Scott SWCD and the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District for an introductory workshop on restoring eroding shorelines and beautifying the area between your yard and the lake
The project enhanced a section of shoreline along Fish Lake behind the Spring Lake Township town hall and implemented a prairie restoration on the north side of the property.
The shoreline area at Watzl’s beach was previously dominated by invasive plants and erosion was occurring at the shoreline. As such, the site was in desperate need of restoration.
Shoreline restoration prevents soil erosion from entering our lake, as well as providing filtration for other pollutants. Native plants provide bank stabilization, water filtration, and habitat improvement. Three main shoreline restoration techniques were used to stabilize these areas: brush bundles, cedar revetment and native plantings with erosion control blanket.
