Bee the Change! Protect Pollinators with a Natural Shoreline

Native shorelines filled with flowering plants, grasses, and shrubs provide critical food and shelter for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators and insects (like dragonflies that eat mosquitos!). These natural areas offer a steady supply of nectar and pollen while protecting water quality and preventing erosion. By leaving your shoreline in its natural state, you create a thriving habitat that supports pollinators and keeps your lake healthy.
