Stormwater Runoff problem:
Runoff is rainfall that flows over the ground surface. It is created when rain falls on roads, driveways, rooftops and other paved surfaces that do not allow water to soak into the ground. Stormwater runoff is the number one cause of lake impairment . Where rain falls on paved surfaces, a much greater amount of runoff is generated compared to runoff from the same storm falling over a forested area. These large volumes of water are swiftly carried to our lake and wetlands and if pavement is at an inadequate slant toward the lake that can cause flooding and erosion, and wash away important habitat and structure in our ecosystem.…
Also, if the pavement is not slanted away from our lakeshore, runoff will drain directly into the lake

Trees Help Reduce Runoff
Trees are valued for the beauty and many other benefits they bring to our landscapes and neighborhoods. Trees are increasingly recognized for their importance in managing runoff. They store and capture runoff in the leaf canopies helping reduce erosion caused by falling rain. They also provide surface area where rainwater lands and releases water into the atmosphere by evapotranspiration.
Tree roots and leaf litter also absorb pollutants and create a
beneficial soil condition to provide infiltration.
Trees and vegetation also deter geese from visiting our shorelines and
providing unwanted waste

Prides itself in
Developing and Creating ways
To protect and preserve our Duck Lake
Water community. We have a weed control program, a native planting program around the lake and we are in the process of creating a pier to invite all individuals with varying abilities to enjoy Duck Lake.

Please assist us in creating the prior ecosystem structure that enabled Duck Lake to be a premier and noted lake of Southern Minnesota by replacing the trees that are gone.
