Sustainable Landscaping in Coastal Areas
Coastal Planting Templates
Project Summary
Working in collaboration with partners at NC Sea Grant and the Coastal Studies Institute, the CDDL developed the initial set of planting templates for the Coastal Landscapes Initiative (CLI) to educate coastal property owners on sustainable landscaping practices and promote the use of ecologically beneficial plants and plant communities.
The planting templates are developed to meet a range of sustainable landscaping goals, including, but not limited to, native NC plant communities, wetland plants, resilient construction materials, floodplain development and management, coastal plain soils, traditional development materials, coastal development regulations, and accessible design.
