This project includes two separate awards of funds from DCNR. The combined efforts will install nearly 80 acres of forested buffers, including efforts to demonstrate multi-functional buffers where income potential from buffers for fruits, nuts, and salable horticultural materials are a motivator. These non-federal funds help fill niches for landowners who are either ineligible for or prefer non-federal options, such as some Plain sect farmers.
