Bioregional natives can be described as a plant native to Eastern North America and adapted to the soils and the USDA hardiness zone of a site, which it was previously historically absent from.

When and where to Plant Native Plants?
• Restoring damaged or disturbed landscapes• Wetlands and stream corridors restoration• Reforestation • Riparian buffers and bank stabilization• Storm water management and erosion control• Rain gardens

• The most important part of any good design is a proper site analysis
• Select plant material according to hydrologic conditions

• Plant trees
• More and more trees
To recreate our eastern forest biome

• Trees stabilize the soil, clean, absorb and infiltrate storm water, give off oxygen and take in carbon monoxide

Understanding plant communities means identifying nature as a model and using bio-mimicry to establish inter-related and inter-dependent landscape system

Ways to Plant Natives
• Integrate and mix compatible, companion species for the widest bio-diversity
• Utilize mass planting to achieve best results (eliminating the need for seasonal mulching)
• Pure live seed• Eco-plugs/tublings• Bare root• Container plants

In Conclusion
• Stewardship/ land management• BMP’s • Remove the invasives and plant the natives• Institute no-mow zones• Irrigation for establishment• Animal control, i.e. goose and deer • Landscape design for biological selection• Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow and don’t let
your landscape go to the dogs
