The health of the Glen Lake / Crystal River Watershed heavily depends on the condition of our shorelines and stream banks. You can contribute to the protection of the watershed by maintaining your natural shoreline or stream bank. The Glen Lake Association offers free, on-site consultations for riparians. Our expert staff will address your questions and concerns, providing lake-friendly suggestions for shoreline preservation.
Did you know?
The loss of natural shorelines and stream banks is the leading threat to water quality. Natural shorelines and stream banks shield lakes and rivers from stormwater pollution, prevent soil erosion, and offer essential habitats for fish and wildlife.
By scheduling a shoreline or stream bank consultation with the Glen Lake Association, we will listen to your concerns and conduct a thorough property analysis. Following this, we will provide recommendations for naturalized shoreline or stream bank landscaping, including design options, plant material sources, soil preparation and planting suggestions, and mulching and maintenance tips.
