Shoreline Enhancement and Stabilization in the Middle Fork Crow River Watershed (DNR Block Grant)
Grant timeline July 2012 – June 2014
Grant dollars: $50,000
The “Shoreline Enhancement and Stabilization in the Middle Fork Crow River Watershed” Project entails a two pronged approach to increase the adoption of more natural and sustainable shorelines throughout the watershed. The first component is comprised of a workshop that will focus on the multiple benefits of natural shorelines, and will further the MFCRWD’s attempts to shift the lakeshore mentality from a ‘turf grass to the water’s edge’ to a ‘natural is beautiful’ approach. The second component will be to implement a series of shoreline restoration projects on several water bodies. Seven total projects are proposed for the purposes of this grant. The restored shorelines will help filter runoff from developed sites, reduce active erosion, and will enhance vital habitat for wildlife.
