Plant Native Species

Protect: Recommended Actions

Protect existing native plants and keep invasive species out. Enjoy the beauty and vitality of your healthy shoreline and the variety of living creatures that it attracts.

If you wish to open the view of your shoreline from your home, carefully prune or selectively remove a few trees in your sight line (a concept called "editing"). This creates an attractive "frame" for a scenic view while retaining privacy.
