In the maintenance of a waterfront buffer, the planting of native species of ground cover, shrubs, saplings and trees is encouraged. The University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension has a couple of publications I found helpful. “Landscaping at the Water’s Edge: An Ecological Approach” and “The Best Plants for New Hampshire Gardens and Landscapes”. You can find these books on the NH Cooperative Extension’s web site -http://extension.unh.edu/Pubs/Pubs.htm. Iwill be planting some low growing wild blueberries this spring by the lake.
