Natural Capital Plant Database

Paula Westmoreland co-created this incredibly innovative and useful Plant Database that is used by thousands of people all across the globe every year.

The Natural Capital™ Plant Database is a repository of plant information for ecological design. We use citations from multiple sources and provide detail on plant characteristics, tolerances and behaviors, ecological functions, human uses, concerns, and plant associates.

 
 

This Perennial Land

This Perennial Land, co-written by our founder Paula Westmoreland, is the story of a beautiful and intensely farmed land that has been written off as a ''sacrificial landscape''-a natural place ceded entirely to industrial use--even by many concerned about the environment.

Accompanied by a remarkable ''opportunity map'' it offers a rough blueprint--a conceptual starting point--for landowners, policymakers, and citizens who want a part in forging a new vision for returning health, beauty, and economic stability to corn and soybean country.
