MNL understands the importance of Minnesota’s lakes and wants to protect this incredible natural resource. The Shoreline Stabilization Kit is designed to provide
attractive, natural protection and native habitat on the water’s edge. Safeguard any shoreline from erosion with this collection of deep rooted aquatic plants while
creating habitat for a wide range of wetland creatures and spawning grounds for a variety of fish.
