The LRCA program uses local plant, tree and shrub species to try and ward off invasive plant species.
THUNDER BAY -- Waterfront owners who want to beautify their properties while helping to protect and stabilize Lake Superior watershed shorelines have until May 30 to apply to a special program that uses native shrubs and plants.
This year, the program has 10 spots open for properties within the Thunder Bay Area of Concern, which was designated in 1987 over concerns about pollution under the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Some examples of local species include ninebark shrubs, red-berried elders, pussy willows, as well as perennials like milkweed and black-eyed Susans.
