Erosion Control Company Hoping to Make Ripples

SAULT STE MARIE, Mich. - April 10, 2015 - PRLog -- Northern Natives Erosion Control(NNEC), a northern Michigan company, is opening its doors in spring 2015 with one goal in mind; improve water quality.  They offer all-native products to the northern U.S. for erosion control, storm water filtration and low impact development.  In addition, they will provide erosion control solutions to Michigan and beyond.  They are a division of Hoosier Aquatic Management, an Indianapolis based company which has been providing erosion control to the Midwest for 20+ years.

When asked about his new endeavor, NNEC’s owner Ken Kerkhof said, “We are excited to be working in a field where we can have a direct impact on environmental concerns.  We are living in a critical time for humanity and to be a part of the team trying to solve these types of issues is uplifting and invigorating.”

NNEC’s primary product is the Living Log, a vegetated coir log made from coconut fiber.  When used in conjunction with all-native wetland plants and wildflowers, it creates a buffer where water comes into contact with soil:lakes, rivers, ponds, etc.  The applications don’t end there, however.  Kerkhof says, “Our national infrastructure depends on wetland plants to establish roots so that more water infiltrates into ground water.  Roads, drainage ditches, spillways and new building endeavors all can greatly benefit from stormwater capture and cleansing.  We hope to be part of this process.”

Their contact information is 1-(888)564-2329 or (888)log-2day, and their web address is www.northernnativesec.com.  You can email Ken directly at ken@northernnativesec.com.  With perseverance, hard work, and some luck, they hope to make waves.
