Creating a Wildlife-Friendly Shoreline
Native plants protect against invasive species and provide habitat and food. Manicured lawns promote surface runoff and lack habitat for any species. Leaving woody debris and overhanging branches in place helps to cool water and provides a source of food. Defining a winding path to the water can prevent erosion and increase habitat for species.
