Did you Know? “[Kinnikinnick] serves a dual role on sandy soils, as both a beautification plant as well as a critical area stabilizer. The thick, prostrate, vegetative mat and evergreen character are what make bearberry a very popular ground cover. It is often planted around home sites, sand dunes, sandy banks, and commercial sites.” Contributed by USDA NRCS Northeast Plant Materials Program
