What Will the
Neighbors Think?
Common Problems

Lore is knowledge gained through learning and experience.

In Shore Lore, lakeshore owners and natural resource professionals share valuable experience and insights in their own words. Four projects across Minnesota are featured that represent a range of management approaches.

"What Will the Neighbors Think?" explores social aspects of shoreland aesthetics and the cultural values that we associate with landscaping.

The last chapter in this section provides field-tested solutions for twelve of the most common problems faced by shoreland owners.


"...Oh singing birds and calling loons
you're what I'm looking for.
The shoreline is a home for you
when we take care of it more..."
