Can I cut down trees on my lakeshore property?

The Carlton County Zoning and Environmental Services Office regulates activities in shore land areas including excavating, filling and vegetation removal. If your proposed project includes excavating, filling or vegetation removal in a shoreland area (within 300 feet of a classified lake or stream), a Shore land Alterations Zoning Permit or Conditional / Interim Use Permit may be required. For more information, contact us at 218-384-9176 or visit our Shore Land Information page.
