Join Itasca Waters and Minnesota Sea Grant in learning about water quality preservation in lakeshore development and natural shoreline protection as part of the Itasca Water Wisdom online webinar series, co-sponsored by MNSG.
During this discussion, guest speakers Mike Isensee and Tom Langer of the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District will present valuable findings from our lakeshore monitoring program and community education initiatives. Understanding the current conditions of lakes and gaining insight into the knowledge, values, motivations, and concerns of lakeshore property owners are essential first steps for governmental and nonprofit organizations seeking to design impactful outreach and engagement strategies.
These efforts are crucial for protecting and restoring natural shorelines. By combining active landowner stewardship, alignment among regulatory partners, and targeted education and engagement programs, we can work together to ensure our District’s lakes remain off the State’s Impaired Water List.
