Naturalization
Naturalization is an alternative landscape management technique. Natural processes of growth and change are less restricted and the landscape is allowed to become more natural rather than ornamental.
Economic Benefits
- Reduced maintenance costs
Environmental Benefits
- Native plants are reintroduced and bird and wildlife populations are able to re-establish themselves
- Plants reduce atmospheric greenhouse gasses, clean the air and maintain oxygen levels required to support life
- Plants stabilize slopes and prevent erosion
Quality of Life Benefits
- The landscape will become a source of beauty as naturalized park and roadway sites mature
- Noise levels are reduced as dense plantings mature
- Citizens become involved in environmental programs
