Tufted Hairgrass

Tufted Hairgrass is a native perennial grass that thrives in a variety of cool, moist environments. It forms dense, tufted clumps of narrow leaves, making it a valuable component for erosion control in areas prone to water runoff. While not typically a primary forage species, it can provide some grazing value for livestock, especially in early spring. Tufted Hairgrass is highly tolerant of cold temperatures and can withstand significant snow cover. It plays a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity in wetland and riparian ecosystems, providing valuable habitat for a range of wildlife species.
