ABOUT US

With years of experience managing invasive plant species throughout Pennsylvania, we have gained much insight into their impacts on the ecosystem as a whole.

Native Creations has created a niche in the landscape industry, bringing native plants into residential, commercial, and conservation projects to create a functional and natural landscape for the customer and neighboring ecosystems. We have accomplished this by implementing thousands of acres of reforested natural landscapes, working with native trees, shrubs, and flora; plants that are naturally found throughout the beautiful landscapes of Pennsylvania.

Native plants are plants indigenous to a given area in geologic time. This includes plants that have developed, occur naturally, or existed for many years in an area (trees, flowers, grasses, etc.).

Many of the invasive plant species found in natural areas are “escapees” from nearby cultivated landscapes.

Commonly used exotic, ornamental, or non-native plants often escape their intended boundaries and establish themselves into the wild.

Since these plants are not part of our existing native landscape, they typically lack natural competition or predators, thus outcompeting and displacing the native species. As a result, the local ecosystem is disrupted, reducing food sources and habitat for native wildlife and pollinators.

The more non-native plants that are established in natural areas, the more they hinder the vital functions of the ecosystem.
