NATIVE PLANTS HELP LOCAL WATERWAYS
How do native plants help the lakes? The more native plantings and prairie spaces we have near our water bodies, the healthier they’ll be. Native plants have profound root systems that prevent erosion and soil loss, stabilize shorelines, slow and filter contaminated runoff before entering the lake, and provide invaluable habitat for our pollinators and wildlife. Seed collections are always a volunteer favorite because you can go at your own pace, do it solo or walk with a small group, and learn a new native plant or two along the way. No experience necessary; all tools are provided!
