According to Rob Morley, President of the Higgins Lake Foundation in a recent telephone conversation, the committee visits all the nominees received from property owners or their neighbors. This year, three recipients received plaques, public recognition at the Higgins Lake Property Owners Annual Meeting in July, and they were featured in an article in the local newspaper. Another source of run-off is the road ends. They are especially harmful because there is an increase in activity making it difficult to establish and maintain a greenbelt. In conclusion, erosion and run-off can be greatly decreased by establishing a greenbelt along the shoreline.
Property owners can increase the amount of vegetation along the shoreline.
Lawns can be maintained without the use of fertilizers and lengthened to increase the filtering effect. Let s do our part to preserve the pristine quality of Higgins Lake for the generations that follow. Torkelson and Associates. Personal telephone interview. 17 September 2000.
