  • Furman Lake and Bell Tower by Wade Worthen

    Furman Lake and Bell Tower

    Photograph of the Furman Lake with the Bell Tower in the background on left.

  • Bank regeneration by Wade Worthen

    Bank regeneration

    Photograph showing a zone of semi-aquatic plants that will help restore the eroded bank. Bank erosion can be slowed and reversed with the use of biologs. These are rolled mats that are staked offshore. As waves move over them, sediment is deposited behind the log, regrowing the shoreline from the bank. During this process, this shallow area is home to a group of semi-aquatic plants like rushes and cattails that absorb and store large amounts of nutrient runoff.

    Biologs at the shoreline

    Bank erosion can be slowed and reversed with the use of biologs, seen in the water near the bank. These are rolled mats that are staked offshore. As waves move over them, sediment is deposited behind the log, regrowing the shoreline from the bank. During this process, this shallow area is home to a group of semi-aquatic plants like rushes and cattails that absorb and store large amounts of nutrient runoff.

  • Complete reconstruction of bank by Wade Worthen

    Complete reconstruction of bank

    EarthDesign Environmental Arts & Landscape Design redesigned the landscape directly down from the Shi Center, where the shoreline had eroded badly, requiring a complete reconstruction of the bank. A series of tiers was used to create a stable bank, and boulders were used to anchor the bank and add a visual feature. The front was planted in rushes, and a series of biologs were placed to help maintain the new bank.

  • Finished rain garden by Wade Worthen

    Finished rain garden

    A rain garden created by EarthDesign Environmental Arts & Landscape Design. Uphill from the lake, the bank was contoured to funnel runoff from the landscape to a small rain garden to the right of the trail. Water seeps through a pipe beneath the walkway to the rain garden on the lake shore. Rain gardens are deep depressions filled with layers of sand and gravel. Plants tolerant of drought and flooding are used to filter the water contained in the garden. After a storm event, water is held in the garden and percolates more slowly and naturally into the lake.

    Landscaped shoreline created by EarthDesign Environmental Arts & Landscape Design. This design controls runoff, absorbs nutrients before they can enter the lake, discourages waterfowl, and increases the beauty and biodiversity of the area.

  • Native wildflowers by Wade Worthen

    Native wildflowers

    Runoff and erosion are also addressed by planting native wildflower meadows on the shore. They intercept and absorb more surface runoff than turfgrass, and also add more color, structure, and diversity.

  • Natural revegetation at Furman Lake by Wade Worthen

    Natural revegetation at Furman Lake

    In spring 2007, the landscaping and grounds crew stopped mowing within the perimeter of the walking trail on the north and western shores. This resulted in a flush of shoreline vegetation, as seen in the photograph, that acted as an important buffer to surface runoff and as a deterrent to waterfowl.
