Native Plant Revegetation Services
Until recently native plants were overlooked on revegetation projects in the Intermountain west. Historically, society has opted for cheaper, `quick - fix` revegetation approaches that rely on engineered and usually introduced species adapted to rapid site colonization. The major pitfall in `quick - fix` approaches is that they result in low-diversity plant communities that are unattractive to humans and wildlife alike. Our understanding of intermountain native plants has lead to the development of cost effective methods for reliable establishment of native plant communities including: wildflower, grassland, shrubland, wetland and riparian. Once established, native plants usually do not require fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides or watering, thus benefiting wildlife and reducing maintenance costs.
