Native plants provide these same functions for you and the lake. Lists of beautiful and functional native plants will aid in your selection and free on-site consultations are also available to Deer Lake property owners. Deer Lake Conservancy cost share programs supported by Wisconsin DNR grants encourage the restoration of native plants near the lake. Two options are available for native plantings. 1) full shoreland buffers which extend native vegetation from the ordinary high water mark back thirty-five feet (with the exception of a viewing and access corridor up to 30 feet wide), and 2) 350 ft² native plantings that meet standards for the Wisconsin DNR Healthy Lakes grants.
