How to protect streams and waterways that run through or skirt your property.

Riparian Buffers and Stream Protection

Free Class: Date: Saturday, June 29th| 10 am start. Cost: Free

Speaker: Dr. William O. McLarney, Senior Scientist and Aquatic Program  Specialist, of Mainspring Conservation Trust is back!!

This class will serve to inform our guests on how to protect streams and waterways that run through or skirt their properties. In addition to stabilizing banks and reducing erosion, taking care of your stream edges can also provide food for fish and wildlife as well as provide habitats, protect the temperature of waterways, filter water from land runoff and reduce the impact of flooding. This class will provide solutions to maintaining waterways and give examples of plants that work well along stream banks.

Amanda (WSF) and Skye (Mainspring) will wrap up Bill’s talk by talking about some native plant options that will help with your own stream bank projects.
