Example:

With an interest in lakeshore restoration and reducing time and money spent on mowing, the City of Winona worked with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to restore 125 feet of shoreline on Lake Winona (top photo).

Native grasses, sedges, wildflowers, and shrubs were planted (bottom photo).

A path allowed citizens to walk through the project and enjoy the restored beauty and natural features.
