Revegetation FAQs

How are plants selected for a revegetation project?

Revegetation projects use only native plant species that promote biodiversity and increase resiliency. The native plant palette is carefully curated for your property and only includes species that are indigenous to your individual site and soil conditions.

What are the benefits of native plants?

Native plants create a more resilient local ecosystem and attract diverse pollinators such as hummingbirds, butterflies, moths, and native bees by providing food and shelter throughout all seasons. Once established, native plants are more drought tolerant and require less irrigation.

What types of plants are included in revegetation?

Conservation agencies typically require three layers: trees, shrubs, and the herbaceous layer, which includes perennials and groundcovers. Revegetation permits also require a diverse plant palette to create an ecologically balanced landscape that helps reestablish vegetation cover types characteristic of the surrounding natural areas.

What is the purpose of invasive species removal?

Removing invasive species and replacing them with native species helps restore a healthy ecosystem.

How does replacing invasive species reduce maintenance needs?

Incorporating more native species naturally reduces susceptibility to pests, which reduces the need for fertilizer and pesticides.

What is involved in Long Island Sound bluff restoration?

Bluff restoration work includes removal of invasive species such as Miscanthus ornamental grass and replanting with native grasses and perennials appropriate for the environmentally sensitive area.
