Landscaping for the Lake (L4L)

The Landscaping for the Lake (L4L) group is currently focused on implementing the DNR Healthy Lakes & Rivers (HLR) grant program. During site visits, the group helps landowners identify projects that may qualify for HLR funding. We also offer ideas for reducing and filtering runoff, even when a property doesn't qualify for funding or the landowner isn't interested in pursuing a grant. We are careful to offer practical suggestions without presenting ourselves as landscape professionals.

Have you noticed this on your property?

• Pooling water around your mailbox, post, or driveway

• Channels or ruts forming in the yard after a heavy rain

• Standing water that lingers long after storms

• Soil or mulch washing onto sidewalks or into the street

The Landscaping for the Lake Committee (L4L) can help you investagate the Healthy Lakes & Rivers grant program, which supports simple and inexpensive projects to reduce polluted runoff entering Lake Waubesa. Find more information at the Grant button below.
