Installing a DIY native plant buffer can increase a property’s climate resilience by about 30 percent, lowering erosion costs and enhancing flood protection. Homeowners who adopt living shorelines also enjoy long-term savings as the plants grow and maintain themselves. 30% is the savings figure reported in a recent survey
