The Pine River Watershed Alliance applauds Trout Lake Camp’s land management practices that protect water quality on the Whitefish Chain.
The camp has been working with the Crow Wing Soil and Water Conservation District on shoreline buffer projects since 2011.
In 2016, the camp had a successful 375-foot shoreline planting of trees, shrubs, grasses and native plants.
In 2018, the Land & Waters Preservation Trust provided a grant of $2,000 to Trout Lake Camps to extend the shoreline buffer an additional 300 feet. The next phase of the project planted trees and shrubs on the steep hill adjacent to the shoreline.
