Natural Yard Tip #6: Plant native flowering perennials
Flowering plants are great for pollinator species while native plants are more adapted to climatic conditions. Milkweed is a perennial plant that provides all nutrients that monarchs need to transform into adult butterflies! https://t.co/A5UNnasLef
We will be posting the results from our 2020 Water Quality Monitoring! Today we’re reporting on dissolved oxygen, which determines how much oxygen is available in the water for aerobic organisms to breathe.

Natural Yard Tip #5: Naturally vegetate waterfront areas
If you have any native vegetation growing along the watercourse running along your property, let it grow! This vegetation not only provides habitat for many species but can also prevent erosion along the river. https://t.co/hY8a4hOUzM
