Title
Healthy Lakes through Living Shores
Abstract
“Healthy Lakes through Living Shores” is a 17-minute video produced by the Flathead Basin Commission to inform basin residents of FBC activities and provide essential information on landowner Best Management Practices (BMPs) for property owners whose land borders lakes and streams. The importance of retaining or re-introducing buffer zones of native vegetation is stressed, as are landscaping and property maintenance techniques designed to minimize non-point source pollution, among other suggested BMPs. The video includes comments from Dr. Jack Stanford, Director of the Flathead Lake Biological Station (University of Montana), Dr. Paul Hansen, Bitterroot Restoration, and a variety of FBC volunteer monitors and lake residents who use BMPs on their property. The in-house production, funded by a 319 Grant, is available in DVD format, VHS on request, and on the FBC’s web site.
Screening of the video will be followed by brief discussion of its production and how it is being used as an education/outreach tool in achieving water quality objectives.
