Before Planting...

Before planting in any wetland or tidal area, check with your local and state governing agencies.

In Connecticut, homeowners should check with their town Inland Wetland Commission and with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) Office of Long Island Sound Programs:

In New York, homeowners should check with their local government as well as the New York State Coastal Management Program.
