What are keystone plants? These native plants form the backbone of our local ecosystem. They are highly productive, supporting the highest number of species and playing a critical role in maintaining or restoring native biodiversity. Landscapes that don’t have one or more of these keystone plants will not have a thriving food web, resulting in imbalances in its ecosystem.
Help support the Big Sky ecosystem by incorporating one or more of these native plant species into your landscape while also reducing fire risk and water use.
