Price County LCD will sponsor a project to educate property owners on the value of maintaining and restoring natural shorelines. This project is crucial in protecting natural resources (fish and wildlife habitat) and reducing the impact on our surface waters caused by development. The project includes the following goals: 1) Create "Caring for our Shorelines," a property owners guide to shoreline protection; 2) In cooperation with the Price County Waterway Association and others, develop additional educational/informational marketing strategies and distribute "Caring for our Shorelines"; 3) Establish "Shoreline Friends" program, mailing informational packet to new waterfront property owners or distribution via lake and river groups; 4) Assist property owners with the development of shoreline restoration plans; 5) Monitor shoreline restoration sites; 6) In cooperation with the LCD, continue to implement cost sharing foe shoreline restoration; 7) Continue general shoreline protection information/education program by developing training sessions for landscape contractors and material suppliers to educate them on shoreline protection and restoration.
