Active Transportation planning & design

So many angles and issues, this is only a beginning.

  • VDOT Manuals and Guides
  • VDOT Bike-Pedestrian Program (many more useful links!)
  • Pedestrian & Bicycle Information Center (PBIC)
  • Ass'n. of Pedestrian & Bicycle Professionals (APBP)
  • FHWA Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
  • VDOT Supplement to MUTCD
  • FHWA Bike-Ped Safety
  • VDOT Tableau Crashtools for researching crash patterns

Landscape Design: Plant Selection Tools

Each of these has strengths and weaknesses. Most include non-natives but allow you to filter to select only natives, but even then, they are not very precise about native ranges. 

  • Gardenia.net
  • Gardens Online
  • Missouri Botanical Garden
  • Monrovia Nurseries
  • University of Connecticut
  • VA Dept of Conservation & Recreation / Natural Heritage Program

Landscape Design: Growers

Statewide Nursery & Landscape Associations often have tools for matching the plant you need with growers who grow it. 

  • Virginia - Guide to Virginia Growers
  • North Carolina
  • West Virginia (link broken)

Native Plants

These can help you figure out if a plant you are considering is native to your state or region. 

  • Virginia Plant Atlas is probably the most reliable and precise source for native plants in VA, based on the Flora of Virginia project. 
  • USDA Plants database takes a more national vantage point, but it sometimes seems to blur the lines: plants native elsewhere in the US can be labeled native in states where they were not native.
  • Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
  • National Wildlife Federation

Native plant societies offer hordes of info on their websites, including lists of growers who specialize in native plants

  • Virginia Native Plant Society 
  • VNPS native plant nurseries list 
  • North Carolina Native Plant Society
  • NCNPS native plant nurseries list
  • West Virginia Native Plant Society
  • WVNPS native plant sources (scroll down)
  • Tennessee Native Plant Society

The other side of the coin is those troublesome invasive exotic plants. 

  • Virginia DCR Natural Heritage Program
  • North Carolina Invasive Plant Council
  • Tennessee Invasive Plant Council
  • West Virginia DNR Wildlife Resources

More coming soon ...

But if you have a suggestion, please pass it along.
