The workshop will teach gardening tips for healthy lakes while also covering erosion prevention and property protection from using waterbars for driveways, driplines for houses and good septic maintenance practices. Amy Picotte from Vermont’s Lakes and Ponds Program will present on shorelands and the lake friendly techniques that help us protect our beautiful lakes and watersheds. Mary Clark from the Agency of Natural Resources will provide information on septic system operation and maintenance. Open to all.
