Prairie Restorations, founded in 1977, was one of the first companies to specialize in restoring native plant communities. Working exclusively with native plants, Prairie Restorations is dedicated to maintaining healthy native landscapes where they exist and restoring them where they have been destroyed or disturbed.
Boreal Natives, a division of Prairie Restorations, Inc. is located 15 miles west of Duluth and opened in 2001. It specializes in restoring and managing the native plant communities found in northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. Boreal Natives produces local ecotype seed, plants, shrubs and trees for retail sale and their own use on restoration projects for businesses, residences, and public sector organizations in the region.
