Water Resources
Clean water in the Land of 10,000 Lakes
Most Minnesotans agree that one of our state's greatest assets is our water. Native vegetation is key to a clean water legacy for generations to come.
Planting for clean water
Stormwater Protection
- Native buffers, rain gardens, and wetlands act like sponges by absorbing stormwater and filtering out pollutants.
Soil Stabilization
- Protect your property value by preventing shoreline erosion. Native roots reduce wave action erosion and are resilient to natural disturbances like ice heaves, drought, and flooding.
Superior Habitat
- Natural shoreland areas and shallow waters provide essential habitat for balanced populations of fish and wildlife, creating healthy ecosystems.
Common Conservation Practices
Lakeshore Restoration
Protect water quality with revegetation of lakeshore buffers using native species.

Stabilize soils, reduce erosion, and protect habitat in and along streams.
