The Shoreland Guide to Lake Stewardship

A Comprehensive Resource for Protecting Your Lakefront Property and Water Quality

Are you concerned about the health of your lake and ready to take meaningful action to protect it?

Have you taken the “Are You a Lake Steward?” quiz and want to learn more about effective shoreland management?

The Shoreland Guide to Lake Stewardship is the essential guide specifically designed for lakefront property owners who want to make a lasting, positive impact on their local environment.

Packed with practical advice, the guide offers a clear roadmap for managing your shoreline and minimizing the impact of human activities on water quality. Even small changes can yield significant results, and the strategies detailed in this book catch and filter up to 90% of runoff pollution from your property before it enters the lake. By reducing the amount of phosphorus and other pollutants flowing into the water, you’ll not only protect your lake, but also contribute to the broader effort of preserving Minnesota’s natural beauty and aquatic ecosystems.
