Nature-based Beach Restoration at Sebago Lake

As part of our EPA Clean Water Act Section 319 Phase IV Sebago Lake grant, we supported our partners at the Portland Water District and Sebago Lake State Park in implementing a first of it’s kind nature-based beach restoration project to capture eroding sand with stumps, logs, and woven brush. The trees and brush were brought on site for this project and were added, not removed, from the shoreline.

Look for this sign the next time you visit the Sebago Lake State Park beach!

This project was funded in part by a Clean Water Act Section 319 EPA Water grant administered by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and managed by us!
