“The brilliance of working with nature is that plants naturally absorb rainfall to prevent flooding. Soil filters water and cleans it. Vegetation stabilizes soil with their root structure which inhibits erosion, trees cool the air temperature, foliage absorbs CO2 and the greenery makes landscapes beautiful.”
— Anne Mazar, Mendon Land Use Committee Chair
