Below are a couple resources available on our website:
This six-minute video, written and produced by the Lake Minnetonka Garden Club, highlights the importance of natural shorelines and gives tips on how to naturalize your shoreline. Video production was funded by MCWD's Cynthia Krieg Watershed Stewardship Fund.
