FOVLAP Landscaping Handbook
  • A Guide to Healthy Lakes Using Lakeshore Landscaping (PDF) Design templates and easy-to-use planting plans and native plant information. This booklet grew out of a series of Federation of Vermont Lakes and Ponds (FOVLAP) projects designed to encourage lakeshore property owners to add vegetation to their property. Vegetated buffers, like wetlands, are crucial to maintaining and improving water quality, flood resiliency, and aquatic and lakeshore ecosystems. When lakeshore owners act, everyone benefits. Clean water and healthy ecosystems enhance our recreational experiences, provide fish and wildlife habitat, reduce costs for drinking water systems, and protect lake property values.
