River birch is a native hardwood commonly used in riparian buffers, stream restoration projects, and other conservation plantings on moist to wet sites. Growing up to 80 feet tall, it is valued for its adaptability to flood-prone areas and its distinctive peeling bark. Its extensive root system helps stabilize streambanks and protect water quality, making it a popular choice for watershed protection and habitat restoration projects.
