The importance of natural shorelines will be the topic at the Master Gardener Association of Northwest Michigan’s March 1 meeting at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. Nancy Popa, an Advanced Master Gardener, Leelanau Conservancy board member and a board member of the Lake Leelanau Lake Association will speak.

In her talk, Popa will discuss how shorelines help filter pollutants, protect against erosion and provide habitat for fish and other forms of wildlife. She’ll also talk about ways to restore a shoreline and the best native plants to use based on science-based solutions on shoreline restoration.

This presentation is free to all MGANM Members and $5.00 for non-members.
