A free workshop for shoreline landowners on coastal processes and erosion management will be held in Langley next week.
Participants will learn to protect and maintain their property and its value. Workshop topics include: coastal and beach processes, erosion management, armor removal and soft shore protection options, enhancing property values and native vegetation for slope stability and habitat.
The event is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 4, at the South Whidbey High School, 5675 Maxwelton Road.
The workshop includes a classroom presentation and a beach walk. Attendees should bring clothing and shoes appropriate for a beach walk.
