Across the country, communities are rediscovering what natural systems have always known: landscapes are not mere decorations—they are ecosystems.

When landscapes are built around native plant communities, they do far more than look natural. They become important habitats, supporting pollinators, rebuilding food webs, stabilizing soils, and strengthening the ecological systems that sustain both wildlife and people.

This month’s e-newsletter highlights key ideas for restoration professionals, urban foresters, and land stewards nationwide, and spotlights one of our upcoming Field Day speakers who explores native plants in productive landscapes.

Native Trees for Tough Urban Sites

Field Note: In cities, trees aren’t just landscape elements—they are living infrastructure.

Urban trees must endure compacted soils, reflected heat, limited rooting space, and occasional drought. Species selection has become one of the most crucial decisions for urban foresters and landscape professionals.

Native trees suited to local climates often deliver the most reliable long-term results. Species like Bur Oak, Chinkapin Oak, Kentucky Coffeetree, and Bald Cypress have adapted to tolerate disturbance, heat, flooding, and seasonal stress.

When the right species are matched to the right site, trees cool neighborhoods, manage stormwater, and support the food webs that healthy landscapes depend on.

Buttonbush

A native shrub that powers wetland restoration and pollinator habitat.

Few native shrubs support as much life in wet landscapes as Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis). Found naturally along wetlands, ponds, and streambanks, Buttonbush thrives in saturated soils and periodic flooding. This makes it a reliable choice for stormwater plantings, detention basins, shoreline stabilization, and wetland mitigation projects.

Its distinctive spherical flowers bloom in early summer, attracting native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Later in the season, seed heads provide food for waterfowl and other birds.

Buttonbush reminds us that native plants are more than ornamental—they are habitat builders that help restore functioning ecosystems.
