From University of Toledo (Ohio):
"Using plant plugs to vegetate the banks of the Ottawa River. The transition zone between normal high and low water is devoid of plants. We are working on selecting native species to inhabit this zone."
The plants that they are using include:
- Water Willow (Justica americana)
- Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis)
- Emory's Sedge (Carex emoryi) - video on this plant
- Prairie Cordgrass (Spartina pectinata)
- Bald Spikerush (Eleocharis erythropoda)
- Hairy Sedge (Carex lacustris)
- Gray's Sedge (Carex grayi)
Another really cool video from them: Indiana Bat Survey
