About Native Plants

Native plants are great for our wildlife, soils, and local climate conditions!

They are great for any landscape and are highly tolerant to our year-round weather conditions.

Native plants can adapt to poor quality soils because of their extensive root systems.

They are drought tolerant and require less maintenance

Native plants also provide wildlife benefits like providing food and places to live.

The Missaukee Conservation District is dedicated to offering species adapted to our region.

Our goal is to educate about the importance of native plants and their connection to pollinators and native wildlife.
