Love Your Lake Program Description
Grow Me Instead
This link will take you to an informative guide that provides information on what to plant and what not to plant in your gardens – whether at home OR at the lakeside.
Invasive species tend to be those that grow well up here – like periwinkle and lily of the valley. But they are terribly invasive; choking out natural plants and impacting the biodiversity of our lake environment.
We recommend obtaining seeds from non-invasive plants at specialized nurseries.
Take a moment each day to familiarize yourself with an Unwanted Plant versus a Grow Me Instead alternative.

Your lakes need your help!!
In Ontario we are seeing a significant rise in some Invasive Water Species invading many lakes. In order to stop the spread of these invaders it is vital to clean your boats, trailers, canoes, kayaks, paddle boats after leaving any waterway. In addition to this, your live wells and fishing equipment. The spread of Zebra mussels, Starry Stonewort and Water Soldier are on the move so please be vigilant and clean your watercraft. Shawano members are proud members of FOCA and we all support the CLEAN -DRAIN- DRY program
