Mapping The Sawkill: A Riparian Buffer Planting on the Tannery Brook.
About this Event
Please join us for a hands-on workshop to learn the skills, techniques and importance of planting healthy riparian buffers along the streams in our Sawkill Watershed.
Facilitated by Andrew Faust of the Permaculture Land Trust, with 65 native plants provided by the Hudson Estuary Trees for Tributaries Program, we’ll learn how to create a healthy stream buffer using native trees, shrubs, and grasses.
Riparian buffers help protect our waterways by reducing pollution, erosion, and flood damage while providing important habitat for fish, birds, and other wildlife.
Come learn, plant, and help care for our local watershed!
No experience is necessary. All are welcome.
