Soft-stemmed bulrush is a tall, graceful plant most at home growing in shallow waters throughout much of North America (and beyond). While not particularly rare, their dark green, rounded stems and bronzy-brown, drooping “flowers” are not just iconic of a wetland environment, they also became the inspiration for a grassroots natural resource preservation project.
 
When Standing Rush took possession of 600+ acres along Lake Erie in the spring of 2015, the only bulrush stand was an isolated remnant about the size of a standard card table; just a few years into the restoration, softstem and other desirable native emergent plant species now comprise the majority of the vegetative cover in the marsh.
 
That persistent pocket of vegetation found on day one  inspired a name, inspired a logo, and has now inspired a movement to stand for something great.
