Native plants are understood to be local ecotype plant material propagated from original sources no farther than 200 miles (300 miles for trees and shrubs) from the projects. Additionally, partners with shoreline stabilization projects commit to using only local ecotype native plants in their designs, as shorelines present too easy an opportunity for non-native plants to spread. I understand and agree with the above Partner Promise. Sponsorship OpportunitiesAre you interested in learning more about additional program and marketing sponsorship opportunities? Yes!
