Land Management Practices for
Marine Shoreline & Bluff Landowners
The King Conservation District will facilitate 3 workshops during May and June 2007 for property owners along the marine shorelines of King County. These workshops are designed to assist marine shoreline and bluff landowners with the unique natural resource management challenges associated with their property. These unique challenges include maintaining marine nearshore and marine riparian zone ecosystems, recognizing and minimizing geologic hazards, using native vegetation to reduce erosion, and using native vegetation to improve fish & wildlife habitat.
The Workshops will be offered at three locations - one on Vashon Island, one south of Seattle, and one north of Seattle. Each workshop will include an indoor session followed by an afternoon field trip, and will begin at 9 am and run until 2 pm. There will be no charge to attend the workshop. Workshop dates under consideration include Saturday May 5th, Saturday May 19th, Saturday June 2nd, and Saturday June 16th.
In addition to the workshops, each participating landowners will have the option to work one-on-one with District staff over the summer and fall months to address specific natural resource management issues on their property.
Landowners who should consider attending include:
- Beach property owners interested in a stable natural shoreline
- Bluff property owners interested in minimizing the potential for erosion an landslides
- Any marine shoreline property owner interested in improving fish & wildlife habitat
