Carex spp. - Sedges - Perennial plants with triangular shaped stems and grass-like leaves. Most species spread by rhizomes and have deep, fibrous root systems beneficial for erosion control and bank protection. Found in both lowland and upland environments. Seeds are eaten by many meadow and marsh bird species. Provides nesting and protective cover for birds, waterfowl and other wildlife.
Juncus spp. - Rushes - Perennial wetland plants, most with round stems, but not jointed. Greenish to purplish-brown or black flower clusters originate laterally from the stem, at the top of the stem, or from terminal branches. Leaves are grass-like but usually short and inconspicuous. Stems form dense tufts. Provide cover and food source for wildlife.. Fine fibrous root systems stabilize soils and stream banks.
Scirpus spp. - Bulrushes - Stout stems and strong, fibrous root systems make these plants ideal for erosion control and bank protection projects. Also a good plant for bio-filtration. Hard-coated seeds, stems and roots are common food source for ducks, geese, and other birds, as well as raccoon, otter and other animals. Also provides protection and nesting cover. Taller species provide excellent blinds.
