Landscaping Alternatives!

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!

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

Best Environment Practices

The Residents of Eagle Spring Lake are stewards of the lake and our shorelines.  We work closely with the Department of Natural Resources, the Lake District and the Town of Eagle to maintain the quality of our water for swimming, fishing and safe and courteous boating.

Watch this space for pertinent rules and regulations, shoreline preservation ideas to support our native insects, native planting recommendations, and more.  We welcome questions we can answer here when it would benefit our all our friends and neighbors.
