Lakescaping for Wildlife and Water Quality represents six years of research and the collaborative efforts of Carrol Henderson, DNR non-game wildlife specialist, Carolyn Dindorf, award-winning soil and water conservationist, and Fred Rozumalski, highly acclaimed landscape ecologist. Learn techniques to prevent shoreline erosion, restore wildlife habitat, wildflowers and clean water. This book will show you alternatives to the conventional practice of planting "lawn all the way to the lake," a practice detrimental both to wildlife and to water quality. Lakescaping includes chapters about the lake ecosystems, designing lakeshore landscapes, site preparation and general tips on stewardship of the land and water. Not only for lakeshore owners, the ideas presented in this book also apply to landscaping along rivers, streams, and wetlands.
