Shoreland Stewards Program

Much like maintaining our own health, preserving and protecting Tomahawk Lake requires a multifaceted approach. Shoreland stewardship is a critical component of our approach for preserving and protecting Tomahawk Lake. TLA's Shoreland Stewards Program provides Tomahawk Lake System property owners with a method to evaluate their current shoreland management practices. It also provides information on and recognition for best shoreland management practices.

*The Tomahawk Lake Association, Inc. is pleased to partner with the Michigan Shoreland Stewards Program (www.mishorelandstewards.org) and Wisconsin Healthy Lakes initiative (www.healthylakeswi.com) to pilot the Michigan Rate Your Shoreland survey tool for possible future Wisconsin statewide use. 

The Tomahawk Lake Association has received approval to upload and use the Michigan Rate Your Shoreland Survey tool. It is requested that all Tomahawk Lake property owner taking the survey register under the Tomahawk Lake Association and identify Iron County as your county location. In this way Tomahawk Lake survey data can be remove so as to not skew Michigan Shoreland Stewards reports.
