Lake Talk And Eats Continues With The Edge Of The Lake
March 20, 2025 at 5:02 p.m.
What do glacial rocks, seawalls and native plants have in common?
They are all ingredients of many common shoreline views.
Would you like to watch the minnows, have a sandy shoreline to walk on, enjoy seeing a few crawdads or best yet … fewer waves splashing up on your shore? This could be the view at your shoreline with a little bit of change. The edge of the lake, the shoreline, is an extremely important part of the entire lake ecosystem. It can be very biodiverse if conditions are right.
The Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation’s (WACF) next Winter Lake Talk and Eats program focuses on the edge of the lake. A panel of experts will discuss some small changes to shorelines to encourage biodiversity and reduce wave action. Co-sponsored by Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation, Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams and The Watershed Foundation, Lake Talk and Eats will be 9 to 11 a.m. April 5 at the WACF Levinson LaBrosse Education Center, 11586 N. Ind. 13, Syracuse.
The panel this month will feature Joan Szynal (chairman of the shoreline committee and past chairman of WACF), Jeremy Price (Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams), Jewel Wise (Clayton Garden Center plant expert), Lyn Crighton (The Watershed Foundation executive director) and Mark Myers (Myers Landscaping). David Brandes (WACF past chairman) will be showing the results of glacial rock stopping wave action at his beach.
It’s free and there’s even a free continental breakfast. Can’t attend in person? Find us on Facebook or email [email protected] to find out how you can attend online.
