This project is an example of the use of native plants and soft engineering to preserve and rehabilitate the shore. The small scale allows our owners to see what they could do on an individual basis.

Storyline 1 documents the project from inception to the spring of 2020.

Storyline2 documents landscaping and planting from May to July 2020

The PlantKey allows you to identify the plants at the site; here is a slide to explain plant identification..

Plant info includes some nursery noes, a photo of the mature plant and one taken when planted.

Plant plan 2021 has the updated plan; it is color coded and you must use the plant key to get names of plants.

Here is a sort-able excel file of some native plants and their characteristics that can help you get started on your own project. You can also download this file and save to your own computer.
