How Do You Design A #WildlifeCorridor For #Maine Garden Design?

Excerpt:

"Plant Palette: #NativeSpecies and Layering for Maine

Choose plants that are native to your Maine ecoregion and that provide multiple functions: forage, cover, nesting structure, and seasonal continuity.

- Canopy and large trees (plant for future shade and mast): white pine (Pinus strobus), red #maple (Acer rubrum), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), red oak (Quercus rubra), balsam fir.
- Small trees and large shrubs (structure and fruit): serviceberry (Amelanchier spp.), crabapple (Malus spp. native selections), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana).
- Shrubs for berries and cover: highbush #blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), #winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata), highbush #cranberry (Viburnum trilobum), black #chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa), #elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), #bayberry (Morella pensylvanica).
- Herbaceous layer and pollinator plants: common #milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), joe-pye weed (Eutrochium spp.), #asters (Symphyotrichum spp.), #goldenrod (Solidago spp.), mountain mint (Pycnanthemum spp.), columbine (Aquilegia canadensis).
- Groundcover and forest floor: bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), wild ginger (Asarum canadense), sedges (Carex spp.), native ferns where appropriate.
- Wetland edge species for riparian corridors: blueflag iris (Iris versicolor), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), #sedges, and #NativeRushes.

Plant choice should reflect site moisture, sunlight, and soil pH. Avoid ornamental cultivars with little #wildlife value and never plant species known to be invasive in Maine such as Japanese #barberry or #bittersweet."

Tall goldenrod is called seitaka-awadachi-sou (セイタカアワダチソウ) in Japanese. It literally means “tall frothing plant.” I’ve wondered about the name for a while until it dawned on me a few years ago while hiking, that when they go to seed, they look like they’re bubbling up frothy foam at the top of the spears. Duh 😂🌾✨

Accidentally took a photo with the front camera when trying to get a pic of this little bagworm-like larva on goldenrod, so enjoy this 180° view. They make themselves little casings from goldenrod fluff. Anyone know what they are?

Title: Goldenrod in November Light

"Backlit by a low, fragile sun, the last goldenrods of autumn dissolve into soft halos of light. Their downy seeds shimmer like fragments of frost, suspended between decay and renewal. In this fleeting illumination, the forest holds its breath — a quiet echo of summer rendered in silver air and fading warmth."
