Best Management Practices Workshop for Homeowners

Join 30 Mile and ALIC as we host the Nonpoint Source Training Center’s (Maine DEP) Best Management Practices for landscapers and homeowners! 

This workshop focuses on how to control erosion and reduce its impacts to natural resources on an individual level. Collectively, 100’s of sites shedding small amounts of soil can equate to several dump trucks worth of sediment being dumped into the lake every year. 

Participants will (1) learn important concepts for controlling erosion on residential sites (2) gain a fundamental understanding of the regulations and permits required when disturbing soil near natural resources (3) discuss the importance of selecting and installing appropriate vegetation for the site (4) comprehend the significance of maintaining their septic system, and (5) explore other tools available for creating long term resilient residential landscapes.

This workshop is geared towards shorefront property owners, but these best management practices extend far beyond the shoreland zone with erosion control!
