Native plants naturally occur in the region where they evolved and are beneficial to the local environment. They are adapted to the landscape, requiring less water, fertilizer, and maintenance once established. Native plants play a vital role in supporting the world's ecosystem, providing sustenance and habitat for birds, native bees, butterflies, bats, and other mammals.
By planting native species in your yard, you help protect wildlife and create a healthier environment for yourself, your family, and your community. You are also supporting the health of Lake Hopatcong and our watershed!
