New Shore Friendly Living Episode

This video is the fourth in a series made by the Northwest Straits Foundation in partnership with other Shore Friendly programs across Puget Sound. The Shore Friendly program was created to provide shoreline landowners with resources to maintain and protect their investments while also protecting the fish and wildlife that need healthy nearshore habitats to thrive. Native plants are an important part of the marine ecosystem, and a key piece of the connection between land and water. In this first video in our series on vegetation, we’ll talk about why vegetation is important for shoreline property owners and shoreline habitat, and how vegetation is related to shoreline processes like erosion. Be sure to watch our follow up videos for more specific information on strategies for managing invasive species, planting native plants, and managing trees while still allowing for views for bluff property owners.
