Description:Vegetation plays an important role in controlling erosion. This booklet provides the coastal Great Lakes property owner with information and guidelines on how to use vegetation to help stabilize and preserve the shoreline. Although plants alone cannot protect the shoreline from wave attack or groundwater seepage, they help prevent soil runoff and wind erosion. They are effective and inexpensive when used in conjunction with structures to preserve the shoreline. With illustrations and step-by-step instructions, this guide can help you choose the vegetation best suited for your shore property, tells how to prepare your site for planting, and how to maintain a vegetative cover. Lists of additional sources of information and related publications are included.
