Make your land easier and cheaper to manage by turning it native.

Overview

Description:

Native plants are those that occur naturally (and historically) within a region in which they evolved. They are the ecological foundation in which other species, that co-evolved with these plants, depend on for survival. All of our restoration projects, from forests, rivers, stream banks, to pastures, and backyards, utilize native plants to benefit both you and your land.

What Benefits Do Native Plants Have?
- Low maintenance: Once established, native plants generally require little maintenance.
- Beauty: Many native plants offer beautiful flowers and abundant fruits and seeds
- Less Fertilizer and Water: Because native plants are adapted to the soil and weather conditions in your area, they need little to no fertilizer to thrive, and use far less water.
- Wildlife: Native plants provide homes and food, in forms of nectar, seeds, and fruit, for numerous species of mammals, birds, and insects.
