COMMUNITY INFO & NEWS
Fall Clean-up​
A yard waste dumpster has been placed at the playground. We have not placed the dumpster at North beach yet as we are completing grading to eliminate standing water. As soon as work is complete, a dumpster will be delivered. Yard waste only PLEASE!
Paving Project
Paving is complete. Road edging to start 11/4. Expected to take 2 days. Much smaller equipment. No road closures expected.
The final paving was our basketball court. Our court will be painted and striped in the spring.
Thank you all for working around the chaos.

What is Shorewood Cares?
A new grassroots effort to offer tangible help to our neighbors in Shorewood and in nearby communities. A way to show that Shorewood Cares! Read more about it and how you can help.
Traffic Signs
Another reminder to put safety first in our community! Please be sure to honor all traffic signs, such as stop, one way, and speed limits. If you see others ignoring the signs, please do not be afraid to pleasantly inform the offender of that violation and ask them to be courteous to others.
Who knows, you may be the one impacted by the actions of others.
Oak Wilt Disease
Oak Wilt Disease is a fungus that will quickly kill oak trees. The many large Red Oak trees in our community are especially vulnerable. The Oak Wilt fungus has killed Red Oak trees at neighboring Warren Dunes State Park and Tower Hill Camp Woods. What can you do to help prevent Oak Wilt damage? Absolutely NO TRIMMING OR CUTTING OF RED OAK TREES FROM APRIL 1st to NOVEMBER 1st. Also, REFRAIN FROM USING FIREWOOD SOURCED FROM OUTSIDE SHOREWOOD. (Warren Dunes has banned all firewood not purchased in the park!).
​
Recycling in Shorewood Hills?
The best way to contain the costs associated with the abundance of glass, paper and plastic on our planet is to extend the life of our landfills by sending recyclables to a recycling center, and not to the landfill. To learn more about recycling in Berrien County go to the Berrien County Website.
The easiest most cost efficient process to do your share is to schedule recycling pickup. Reliable Disposal (269-465-3773) will pick up recyclables and provide a recycling container at a cost of about $4 per month, less if you pay quarterly or annually. The recyclables are picked up every other week on Wednesday. Don't have that much recyclable material? Share with a neighbor!
Shorewood Merchandise
Shorewood merchandise (shirts, sweatshirts) are available year round. Our official sales are at Summerfest and the Annual Meeting, but any other time they are just a phone call away. So if you are looking for gifts or momentos for visitors, just give Janet a call (203-788-1344) or stop by (12136 Tower Hill Road) to select from available styles and sizes.
