NHLAKES has a program called "LakeSmart" You can do a self evaluation to see if your property is "LakeSmart" You don't have to be direct shorefront, lots further back have runoff too. www/NHLAKES.org/lakesmart.
Getting a few places certified. I've just started the procees,and I think it will be straightforward for most islanders who have lots of trees and no lawns.

I heard recently of "blueberry sod" you can use instead of grass. Native. No fertilizer, doesn't need to be cut and it doesn't obstruct your view. AND you can eat the berries. I want to try some. Anybody know where to buy?
