[MAIPC] 'Plant Invaders' booklet reprint

Wed Dec 28 04:20:45 PST 2016

I agree that maintaining a list of native nurseries would be difficult and need to be frequently updated, I believe PA DCNR had tried to do something similar before. If we were looking for a list of native plants but didn’t want a full book, PA’s iConserve website has shorter lists of native plants for a variety of sites (http://www.iconservepa.org/plantsmart/nativeplants/, click on the right hand side lists- sunny/dry, shady/dry, etc). Those might be cheaper to print and provide to folks.

This is the book I am talking about:  https://www.nps.gov/plants/pubs/Chesapeake/pdf/chesapeakenatives.pdf

My two copies are well worn references for what to plant.

Howdy folks, just a thought on the native plants front... Since native plant nurseries are likely to go and come (hopefully more come, like craft breweries, than go) may I suggest that it might be better for a reprinted Native Plants book to link to a curated website of the nurseries? Hopefully the Web info could be kept current and then there wouldn't be that worry about outdated info in the print book... Also, nurseries that spring up could contribute their own info to the website, subject to approval by the curator. Cheers,

No worries, Clark. ;-)

I think that the Native Plants for Wildlife Habitat and Conservation Landscaping book is great, and I support the idea of a reprint, but I think an updated edition is necessary.  There have likely been changes to the list of native plant nurseries, and changes in what plants are commercially available (which, I have heard, was a major factor in what species were listed).

I can speak to Kathryn Reshetiloff at the FWS-CBFO to see if there is any interest in an update.  It would have to be a group effort across the region to gather the necessary data on nurseries and their species lists.

Ossi, My understanding is that Mt. Royal also has the plates for the companion book  "Native Plants of the Chesapeake..."  Can we see if there is interest in getting this book printed as well?  In some ways I think this is the more important book; particularly as homeowners hear "plant native".
