Plants Growing Wild

A diverse native plant community provides food, shelter, and nesting sites for pollinators and wildlife, stabilizes the soil, moderates temperatures along streams and rivers, filters pollutants from waterways, cleans air, and beautifies our community. See what's growing at Harris Ranch below.

Riparian

Warm Springs Creek

We are restoring aquatic habitat to the lower portion of this creek where it enters the Boise River.

View our photo galleries below!

We planted ~200 cottonwoods, 180 milkweeds, and 52 golden currants with the help of about 20 students and their science teacher. These plants, grown and cared for by the students, will establish into native woody vegetation around the pond.
THANK YOU Ridgevue H.S.! for planting with us on Arbor DAY! (See photos---left hand column)
