This project will install conservation practices on farms to improve watershed health. It will provide outreach, technical assistance, and financial assistance to farmers to (1) plan and implement whole-farm conservation, including forested buffers; (2) leverage state and federal funds for the majority of costs; and (3) help fill the remaining financial gap as an incentive for farmers to agree to install forested buffers.
