What’s New?
Sign up here for your free shoreline evaluation The Environment Council will be offering free shoreline evaluations again this summer, thanks to funding provided through a Toronto Zoo program. The funding will allow a professional shoreline restoration consultant to provide 10 on-site evaluations and recommendation reports. The goal of this program is to help protect water quality by encouraging waterfront owners to naturalize their shorelines with buffer zones of specially selected plants and stabilization materials. This reduces erosion and helps keep excess nutrients and pollutants from washing into the water from the land. Natural(ized) shorelines also provide critical habitat for the wildlife you love to watch. To sign up, please email us at info@enviroclearstoneywhite.caand be sure to include the following contact information so our shoreline consultant can book an appointment with you and easily find the way to your property: Full name(s) of property owner(s) Email address(es)

Municipal address at the lake. If you’re on an island or have a boat access only property, please include the island name/number and/or the shore landing most convenient to your property.
Your contact information will be kept confidential. The earlier you sign up, the better your chances of getting an evaluation.
Look for us at summer events
Watch for our Environment Council information table at events around the lakes early this summer. We plan to be at the Blues Festival at Young’s Point, June 8, and at the Upper Ston(e)y Lake Association Craft Show at Crowes Landing, June 30. Information will also be available at the Upper Stoney Lake Association and Association of Stony Lake Cottagers annual meetings on June 29.
We’ll have lots of information on hand about naturalizing shorelines, low impact dock ideas, the importance of wetlands and lots more – including the new algae booklet published by the Kawartha Lake Stewards Association.
While you’re taking part in these events, come on over and learn how you can help keep the lake you love healthy. You can sign up for a free shoreline evaluation at these events as well.
