Restoring & Protecting Our Shorelines

The Healthy Shoreline Award is back! The winner will be announced at our Annual Lake Celebration on July 26, 2025.

WACF has a vision of restoring and improving our natural shoreline to preserve and enhance our water quality, prevent erosion, and provide healthier and safer habitat for the native creatures and lake life found near our shorelines. Our vision to preserve our lakes and shorelines also includes better lakes for recreational activities such as boating and fishing. Natural shorelines, as opposed to bulkheads or concrete seawalls, reduce erosion near our shorelines and provide calmer water and less wave activity. Natural methods to improve and restore our shorelines include the use of glacial rock, native vegetation, and native species. As you take a look at each option, consider what you can do to help promote natural shorelines.
