CLIENT REVIEWS Tenfold Increase In Bird, Butterfly and Bumble Bee Activity “Natural Shores has played an integral part in our native prairie restorations totaling nearly 3 acres to date, with more coming this year. We have seen bird, butterfly and bumblebee activity increase ten-fold in those areas. Without their guidance and mentorship, we wouldn’t be making these contributions to restoring wildlife habitats throughout our association.” – Scott A. -The Preserve Association (Eden Prairie, MN) Read More START A RESTORATION PROJECT NATIVE PLANT NURSERY Our greenhouses produce locally grown Minnesota Native Plant BrandTM stock for all of our full-service ecological restoration projects, as well as for commercial and retail sales.
