Karen Terry, Extension Educator, was interviewed about native shoreland plants on KAXE by Itasca Waters board member Jesse Davis. 

Karen discussed native shoreland plants that property owners can re-introduce to their shoreland and gave us a '101' on the different native plants available from Beier's Greenhouse grown specifically for our area and other ways that native plants can help preserve our shoreland, our clean waters AND our property values! LISTEN HERE to the interview.
