"The Vermont Lake Wise Program is offering a training in shoreland lake friendly practices at the Lake Champlain Basin Program building on 54 West Shore Drive, Grand Isle on June 22nd from 9:00 to 1:00pm. The training is free. It is offered to those who want to learn more about managing shoreland property using lake-friendly practices. The training consists of inside review followed by an outside site assessment, and will cover technical and scientific information, including landscaping with native plants and controlling stormwater with rain gardens, waterbars or infiltration ditches. These trainings will help shoreland property owners exemplify good shoreland practices and earn the beautiful Lake Wise Award sign. It’s easy to think that an eroding camp road or expansive lawn wouldn’t impact Lake Champlain, but when these practices exists all along a shore, they do, especially in the shallow water areas. The Lake Wise Program is coordinated by the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.
