Workshop

The Texas General Land Office is working to raise awareness on the use of living shorelines as alternatives to traditional erosion prevention and shoreline stabilization methods. Join us for informative presentations and hands on demonstrations on how living shorelines can be used to protect and beautify your property. This will also be an opportunity for attendees to contribute to the development of practical living shoreline guidance documents and learn how the GLO can help during the living shoreline installation process.
