The importance of native plants for biodiversity and ecosystem restoration
Native plants play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and ecosystem restoration. The Mobilane Green Screen ECO contributes to the conservation of local biodiversity and provides a natural habitat for local fauna. Native plants form the basis of local ecosystems and are accustomed to specific climatic conditions. Native plants are often the primary food source for bees, butterflies and other insects, which are essential for the reproduction of many plants.

Our 7 native hedge plants as a foundation for ecosystem restoration
→ Ligustrum vulgaris (wild privet)
A versatile, semi-evergreen plant known for its dense branching. The shrub produces cream-white flowers in June, followed by black berries in autumn, which attract birds. It has dark green, oval-shaped leaves and provides excellent cover for small animals. This plant species is native to and widespread across Europe.
→ Acer campestre (field maple)
This is a strong but slow-growing plant that is ideal for hedges and provides a habitat for various birds and insects. It produces greenish-yellow flowers followed by winged seeds that are carried by the wind. Its leaves are green and turn yellow and red in autumn. This plant species is native to and commonly found across Europe.
→ Crataegus Monogina (hawthorn)
This plant is often used as a hedge, either neatly trimmed or in mixed planting schemes. However, it can also grow into a full tree. Due to its dense branching and thorns, this hawthorn provides excellent protection from predators and serves as a nesting site and refuge for birds. It is also a valuable food source, thanks to its bright red berries that appear in late autumn after the white blossoms of spring. The leaves are dark green and lobed in shape. Hawthorn species are native to Europe and are widely used in hedging.
→ Prunus spinosa (blackthorn)
A dense plant with sharp thorns, ideal for creating impenetrable hedges, which was historically used as livestock fencing. The blackthorn is popular with butterflies and bees in spring and summer due to its nectar-rich flowers, and its dark blue-black berries are a favorite among birds. The leaves are small and oval-shaped and this native plant is widespread throughout Europe.
→ Viburnum opulus (guelder rose)
A decorative plant species with striking large clusters of flowers and brightly coloured berries that attract butterflies and other insects, and are highly favored by birds. The blooming of this guelder rose begins in spring with large white flower heads, followed by bright red berries in summer and autumn. The foliage consists of light green, lobed leaves that take on beautiful colors in autumn. This plant species is native and originally found across large parts of Europe.
→ Corylus avellana (hazel)
A plant known for its distinctive hanging catkins and edible nuts. The hazel is highly attractive to a variety of wildlife, including birds and small mammals, thanks to its yellow-brown male catkins in early spring, followed by edible hazelnuts. The leaves are large, round, and serrated. The hazel is a common plant across Europe and is often planted for its nuts.
→ Carpinus betulus (hornbeam)
A plant often used for formal hedges. The hornbeam has a prominently veined leaf with a double serrated edge. In spring, the hornbeam produces small, inconspicuous catkins and bright green leaves that turn yellow in autumn. In winter, the brown leaves remain partially on the hedge. It is a native species found throughout Europe and is beneficial for birds and insects due to its structure and seeds.
