If you own, manage, or farm a property with a stream, you can help save farmland raptors while enhancing the value and enjoyment of your land.
Forested buffers have long been valued as barriers or filters that keep pollutants from reaching streams, but that’s only half the picture.
An update on research seeks to reduce plastic waste, maintenance costs, and the mortality of planted trees and shrubs.
Volunteers from Exelon, Wilmington Trust/M&T Bank, and Dansko joined us for tree plantings and maintenance at New Bolton Center. We appreciate their support!
Whether it’s too much, too little, or too dirty, the primary way humans experience climate change is through water. Streamside forests can help.
To ensure our buffers are set up for success, we strategically use herbicides to control invasive plants for the first three years.
Here’s a hint: wider buffers are better. Narrower buffers help but don’t function as well as pollutant barriers and enhancers of in-stream function.
