1 Ecological Consulting Native Plant Nursery Restoration Services Cultural Resource Management Plants to Enhance and Stabilize Your Shoreline Brian Majka Brian Majka Senior Restoration Ecologist
2 Today we ll discuss: Native vs. non-native plants Native vs. non native plants Shoreline plant species selection Shoreline plant layout and design Plants for use on shoreline naturalization projects
3 Why do YOU want to naturalize your shoreline? Wildlife Aesthetics Lower maintenance Stormwater benefits Soil stabilization ti Natural history Food source
4 Native vs Non-Native Always use native plants below the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) Native plants have deep root systems that will bind and stabilize soil in ways turf grass can t Wildlife has evolved using native plants for food, cover, and shelter. Therefore, some cultivars can provide similar benefits. Plant selection will be based on a variety of goals and requires knowledge of many different variables
5 Species Selection: Things to consider: Borrow from nature Soil Moisture and Type Sun vs. Shade Potential Competition Project Goals Just what are you trying to accomplish??? Aesthetics Wildlife Erosion Control Begin with the end in mind Stephen Covey
6 Planting Zones It s important to understand the hydrology of your lakeshore when selecting species Typical Zones: Below normal water level (NWL) Between NWL and Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) Above OHWM
7 Design and Layout View the native plant like any other plant Structure Color Bloom time Consider project scale, and use appropriate species Vary height, structure, texture to create interest Incorporate a variety of grasses, flowers, trees, shrubs, ferns,sedges...
8 Resist the urge to overcomplicate things sometimes simpler is better Diversity is great for wildlife, but can make aesthetics a little messy Consider symmetry y vs. assymetry Remember that site conditions will affect plant growth forms (IE, wildflowers get leggy in shade) Consider your project in the context of the surrounding areas
9 Shoreline Naturalization: A Continuum of Wildness Restoration o Wildflower Meadows Traditional a Landscaping Focus on historical vegetation and composition Genotype becomes more important Aesthetics A ti are less important Wild look, but often with higher forb composition May include species that are regionally, but not locally, native Aesthetics become more of a concern Typically use loosest definition of Native More plug and gallonpotted material Consider native plants just like a cultivated plant

11 Be Creative! Don t be constricted by the books It s better to work with, than against, nature If you like a plant, use it Take cues from nature Anyone can make a black-eyed susan look good, but what else can you do?
