Why Use Native Plants?
Although you can safely have non-native, non-invasive plants along your shore line, native plants which evolved with our lake birds and insects will provide the best shelter and food. You can make your shoreline an ecological oasis for them!
Creating a border of native plants provides not only a barrier for the geese, but improves the quality of the water run-off into the lake! A beautiful garden of native plants allows water to 'walk not run' into our lake.
And NEVER use fertilizer containing phosphorus, it is the primary reason for algae in Eagle Spring Lake. If you use a lawn service? Check with your provider to be sure!
