Cost-Share Assistance for Shorelines

We offer cost-share assistance to help protect and restore our local lakes. Eligible projects may include:

  • Installation of native vegetative buffers along lake shorelines
  • Stabilization of eroding shorelines using natural or engineered methods
  • Filter strips to reduce runoff into lakes
  • Practices that reduce nutrient loading from nearby land

These projects help reduce algae blooms, improve water clarity, and protect lake health for future generations.
