Shoreline landowners: sign up for a free technical site visit this summer!

The Northwest Straits Shore Friendly program will be offering technical site visits locally throughout the rest of summer for shoreline landowners who have concerns about their properties or who would just like to learn more about managing their property while also protecting the nearshore habitat that it supports. Learn more about shoreline erosion and the benefits of natural shorelines, watch videos about protecting your property and nearshore habitats, and sign up for a free technical site visit this summer!
