Natural Edge Workshop
A healthy lake starts with a healthy shoreline. In fact, the state of your
shoreline can directly affect the quality of the water you swim and play in on
your own waterfront. Perhaps you have been wondering what you could do to improve your shoreline but don't know where to start. If so, this workshop is for you!
Watersheds Canada is coming to Kasshabog Community Hall/Library on Saturday, June 10th to offer a FREE Natural Edge Workshop starting at 10:00 AM
The Watersheds' staff will share the following:
-
Why natural shorelines are important
-
Actions you can take to improve your own shoreline
-
What to consider when designing your plan
-
Ideas for customizing your own naturalization plan
-
Suggestions of native plants and materials to get you started.
There is limited space available for this FREE workshop so contact environment@kasshabog.ca and book as soon as possible. Have a question about the workshop? Contact Cynthia Cole at colescove24@gmail.com
