and seven varieties of horticultural blueberries are all 

 available commercially and can be planted in a mo- 

 saic to mimic natural conditions. Songbirds feeding 

 on the fruits will populate the spaces in-between with 

 native shrubs over time. 



Convince lakefront property clients to "look over 

 the shrubs and between the boles" to see the water 

 Twenty-five-to-fifty-foot buffer strips make most 

 people think of an impenetrable growth of near-jungle 

 conditions on their valuable shorefront Pruning by a 

 qualified arborist can raise the canopy and clean up 

 dead limbs that might obscure their view of the lake. 

 Providing alleyways of sight from windows or porch 

 settings can allow other areas of thick vegetation to 

 prosper, creating privacy for both the property owner 

 and the people on the lake itself. You can live in the 

 woods and still see the water. 



These living bird feeders — our native shrubs — will 

 screen out nutrients from overland sheetflow and pro- 

 tect the shorefront from erosive action of waves and 

 winter ice. Complete property care can enhance both 

 native vegetation and the foundation plantings nor- 

 mally contracted for. As your firm evolves to do this 

 integrated approach, the benefits to all will be in- 

 creasingly obvious.
