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

Riparian Buffers and Stream Protection

Thank you for Attending!

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

This is the second time we’ve held this class with Bill. It is fascinating and fun. The WSF team will be there to help out with native plant river and streamside suggestions as well!

This class will serve to inform our guests about 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.
