Healthy Lakes & Rivers (HLR) aims to protect and restore the health of the state’s lakes and rivers by increasing property owner participation in habitat restoration and runoff and erosion control projects. The initiative is based on five simple and inexpensive best practices: fish sticks (large woody habitat structures that utilize trees grouped), native shoreline plantings, water diversion practices, rock infiltration practices and rain gardens.

Improve habitat and water quality with simple and inexpensive projects for your lakeshore property.

We signed on. Learn more with a click!
