Is your shoreline eroding? Looking for alternatives to rip-rap?
Nature-based solutions use plants and natural materials to protect shorelines from erosion. Could this work for your property? Join us for a free Shoreline Solutions Workshop on Thursday, November 6, 5:30–8:30 PM at Union + Co., 31 Centre Street, Bath.
Experts from the Maine DEP, Maine Coastal Program, and local practitioners will share practical, usable options for stabilizing shorelines. Learn what works, what doesn’t, and how nature-based solutions can protect property while supporting healthy ecosystems.
What you’ll learn:
Why shoreline erosion happens and the pros and cons of different approaches.
How native plantings, living shorelines and restoring dunes or natural slopes can stabilize bluffs, protect access, and safeguard property.
What state permit reviewers look for — and simple practices you can do without a permit.
Bring your questions and photos! After presentations, stick around for free one-on-one “office hours” with shoreline experts who can review your site and give tailored feedback.
Dinner provided!
