A riparian buffer is a perennial vegetated strip of land composed of trees and shrubs. This strip reduces runoff of soil, chemicals and other pollutants into the waterway. Riparian buffers aid in reducing flooding. They also recharge groundwater and help with biodiversity. Joel Koci, Urban/Community Forestry Extension Associate, will discuss installation methods, plant choice and maintenance procedures. He will also go over possible funding sources for the implementation of riparian buffers.
