If you own lakeshore property in Scott County, leaving the natural shoreline
undisturbed is often the best and least expensive protection against erosion. An area of thriving native plants near the shore reduces erosion by stabilizing soils, filtering pollutants from lawn runoff and discourages geese from congregating on your yard. Our staff can guide you through decisions that help improve our rivers, streams and lakes... and the fish and wildlife that make their homes in these areas.
It's important to remember that erosion along lakeshores is similar to erosion along streams. The damage can occur
naturally from ongoing action of waves against erodible banks and can be worsened by increased water levels, wave action, boat use and other recreational or human activities.
We offer assistance to help Scott County residents improve their lakeshore, reduce erosion and control runoff from your lawn. Whether you want to stabilize your shoreline with native plants or repair a steep, eroding bank, technical and financial assistance is available -- close to home. Check out the Urban/Blue Thumb page for more information and be part of the solution.
