Outreach and Installation of Agricultural Best Management Practices in Brandywine-Christina

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

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.
