Individual Session: Shrublands: The Missing Landscape Link
Along with meadows and woods, shrubs in the form of contiguous mass plantings should be included in any landscape that seeks to optimize wildlife habitat. In addition, shrublands and thickets are among the most effective solutions for steep slopes, weed prone landscapes, stormwater catchment basins, and transitional areas that connect field and forest.
In this presentation native plant expert Ethan Dropkin will discuss the nuances of designing, planting, and managing shrublands, including the differing protocols specific to establishing clump forming shrubs versus those that proliferate by clonal expansion.
