Bioengineering can offer a nature-based solution on lake shorelines for controlling erosion, adding beauty, and providing habitat for fishes, birds, and other fauna. However, reference materials for professionals conducting lakeshore bioengineering projects and for homeowners seeking to have them installed are lacking. This presentation will introduce two new MGLP-produced reference documents for professionals and homeowners that help build the foundation for understanding what is happening at the shoreline and provide some basic design tips for dealing with erosion across a range of environmental conditions.

The presenters are:

• Julia Kirkwood, Lake Stewardship Specialist with Michigan EGLE and Chair of the Michigan Natural Shoreline Partnership
• Jen Buchanan, Red Twig Environmental, LLC

The free webinar is on Oct. 29, 2024, at 1 pm CT.

Registration is required.
