RPM Ecosystems (a native plant nursery out of New York) has been working with the Natural Resource Conservation Service, the U.S. Forest Service, Mississippi State University and the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks on restoration efforts on the Gulf Coast with 35,000 native tree plantings on private landholdings damaged by the hurricanes in 2005. By May 2009, over 60,000 fast-growing trees from RPM will have been planted throughout the area.
