From about a decade ago me in my govt greenhouse (I designed and sped'd construction of this) growing native wetland grass for shoreline restoration. I did it all from collecting seed in the wetlands, germinating to distribution/planting. As a professional Horticulturist I can grow and kill anything with ease, expertise, vim and vigor. In this last 1/3 of my govt career (I'm eligable for early retirement) my time is spent killing stuff i.e. invasive species control and eradication as Head of our Natural Resources Division. I'm setting up to do this as a second career in the conservation field.

rower - What's your opinion of using grasses on the shoreline of recreational lakes instead of using products such as retaining walls, or riprap to stop erosion?

This is my office, or rather the last job I was on today

[ Image ]

We had the same office yesterday; I mowed two public parks on my beat up old Jacobson mower. Very relaxing and contemplative; some of my biggest schemes are the result of this...and my daily 2-hr work commute.

The Living Shoreline concept is long overdue and just becoming a bit more mainstream here in Maryland thanks to recent legislation promoting their use over hard, armored or structural (old school) options. BUT, it is not a silver bullet and it works, in conjunction with some smartly engineered stone groins/breakwaters where there is not too much wave energy (natural or man made due to water activities). Down side is that it costs more for the landowner/govt for any cost share and can be perceived as an intrusion to personal land use. Its more habitat friendly when constructed properly; in-Town just had one installed and I quietly critiqued too much stone was used in the sill and vent; two nights ago @ a presentation I learn that NOAA etc grant sources required some stone removal upon re inspection...so I was right on the $$.

Like anything, it has its + and - ; I've been involved in a number of these in my own capacity and, so far, they have been beneficial. Like storm water management, this stuff is an evolution. Since I'm a life time angler, I also see the benefits these play in recreation as well as a resource management tool.
