The ELN can provide technical advice, informational resources, and in some cases, planning assistance to support ecological landscaping. Some examples include:

  • Developing outdoor classrooms on school grounds.
  • Giving guidance to groups of homeowners that want to utilize and protect a stream that borders their properties.
  • Assisting municipalities in planning ecological landscaping practices on public lands.
