And it could be the start of something beautiful!
Stopping soil erosion can not only help preserve Maine’s waters; it can also beautify your land! That’s because the best way to prevent erosion is by planting shrubs and trees to act as a filter between your property and nearby waterways...and by planting grass seed to cover any bare soil. And both can make your whole property look better. As a bonus, you’ll spend less time and money repairing the damage caused by erosion on your property. Learn more about what you can do to stop soil erosion in your own backyard: call 1-800-452-1942.
