How can I stop my land from washing away into our marshland?

I've lived on this property for several years and I'm seeing where heavy rains and storms are eroding the land back into the marshland that is beside and being our house. I can't figure out what to do about this problem and soon there are going to be some fairly huge trees that are going to uproot and fall. I really do need some help and I can't do this alone since I'm in my 60's and physically unable to do anything that requires heavy lifting. Any ideas will b e greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for you valuable time and suggestions.

    Hi there, here in MN we're really serious about the conservation of marshland etc. I would do some searches and looking around in your area for conservation offices. They will be able to tell you exactly what you can plant to help the situation and conserve the area.
