Winter 2007
With nearly 12,000 lakes, 7,000 natural rivers and streams and more than 7,200 miles of major rivers, there's a lot to love.
We all share a responsibility to care for and sustain the health and beauty of Minnesota's waterways. However, recreation, shoreland and watershed development, and other threats to water and habitat quality are impacting many of these valuable resources.
To help home and cabin owners protect
both their investment and the water,
Extension offers a two-DVD set, Better Living on Our Lakes and Rivers. Included
is information on lawn care, shoreline
vegetation, habitat for wildlife, stabilizing
shorelines to prevent 
erosion, preventing
spread of aquatic
invasive plants and
animals, culverts, septic
systems, and wastewater
treatment.
