Stroud Water Research Center
Forests near and far contribute to stream health. A tree planted miles away can still support water quality — if water flows from it to a stream.
Forested buffers have long been valued as barriers or filters that keep pollutants from reaching streams, but that’s only half the picture.
From the first Friday kickoff to the last Saturday volunteer effort, it was a wonderful week as Lancaster Conservancy celebrated clean fresh water for all.

You’ve planted your trees, but your job isn’t over yet! Learn about the next steps you need to take to ensure a successful buffer planting.
Hicks welcomes the challenge of finding better and more efficient ways to produce food and fiber that are at once profitable and environmentally sustainable.
The Stroud Center partnered with volunteers for two tree plantings, spread the word about agroforestry, and helped water professionals learn about soil health and water quality.
During the first five years of growth, young trees need to be protected from chewing — from deer above and rodents below.
Learn how far our watershed restoration program has come in nearly 10 years and where we’re going to help farms adopt science-based solutions that restore healthy streams.
