Native plants As the name implies, native plants are species that occur naturally in an area or have existed there for numerous years. They are adapted for the local environment and coexist with other plants and wildlife, sometimes depending on them for survival. The Clackamas River Basin Council staff will work with you to develop a planting plan that suits your needs. The types of native plants selected will depend on the environmental conditions on your property and the habitat requirements of each plant species. Here is a selection of the native trees and shrubs that the CRBC may have available to plant: Big Leaf Maple - Acer macrophyllum Black cottonwood - Populus balsamifera Red osier dogwood- Cornus sericea Oregon white oak- Quercus garryana Oregon ash- Fraxinus latifoli Bitter cherry - Prunus emarginata Western hemlock- Tsuga heterophylla Western redcedar- Thuja plicata Douglas fir- Pseudotsuga menziesii Pacific ninebark- Physocarpus capitatus Vine maple- Acer circinatum Cascara- Rhamnus purshiana Salal- Gaultheria shallon Common Snowberry- Symphoricarpos albus Red huckleberry- Vaccinium ovatum Douglas spirea- Spiraea douglasii Serviceberry- Amelanchier alnifolia Oregon grape- Berberia nervosa Sword fern- Polystichum munitum Salmonberry- Rubus spectabilis Indian plum- Omeleria ceraiformis |
