Establishing Native Grasses - USDA

← Back to document page

Native grasses, either alone or in combination with native forbs or wildflowers, can be planted to reduce soil erosion and sedimentation, improve water quality, and provide wildlife habitat. Stiff-stemmed native warm-season grasses can serve as a barrier to erosion and can trap sediment carried by water and wind.
