Native plants shine in local conservation effort
Marshall Area Conservation Club promotes native plants as essential to local ecosystems. Native species, defined as pre European settlement in Michigan, support butterflies birds and wildlife, require less water and maintenance, and improve soil through deep root systems. Invasive non natives threaten biodiversity and water quality by increasing runoff and fertilizer pollution.

Native plants provide erosion control and water filtration
Native plants have deep roots that retain water and filter pollutants. Use them for low maintenance borders and to stabilize slopes. Create a native buffer along water edges at least 20 feet deep with narrow access paths, avoiding fertilizers and pesticides. Visit MACCs Native Plant Demonstration Plot on River Walk near Marshall Public Services Building for details.
