BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Summer is around the corner, meaning lakes will be getting busy, and that comes at a cost to shorelines.
Waterfront property comes with its perks, but environmental conservation experts are making sure shorelines get as much out of it as you do.
The Vermont Lakes and Ponds program is offering advice to landowners looking to restore or maintain their property.
The guidance includes planting native trees and shrubs, putting in a rain garden to absorb run-off, and creating no-mow zones.
