Protecting the waterfront. Learn what you can do in this video.
Waterfront property owners have firsthand knowledge of the special contribution that lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, and bays make to our quality of life. It's no surprise that these water bodies' health is a reflection of how we care for the land. The key to maintaining pristine waters is to be a good neighbor to these natural resources. Follow UF/IFAS recommendations for lawn care and landscape maintenance.
Establish a 10-foot maintenance-free zone along your shoreline. Do not mow, fertilize, or irrigate inside this 10-foot zone.
