Building a better buffer isn’t just for folks living on a water body. Buffers can support sediment and erosion control in any part of the watershed! Whether you are trying to improve your shoreline, reduce erosion from your driveway, improve habitat, or you want to buffer your property from unwanted sights or sounds, this talk is for you.
Rebecca Jacobs, Natural Resources Program Manager at the Boothbay Region Water District, will explore the importance of vegetative buffers. She will outline ways to implement these buffers on a variety of sites using native and climate adaptive species. Handouts will be provided to all attendees with guidance to help you develop effective buffer plans on your own property.
This lecture is the first in a three part series, From Forests to Faucets, brought to you by the Boothbay Region Clean Drinking Water Initiative. This series is free to the public. Participants do not need to attend all sessions (each session stands alone and participants can attend as many or few as they choose). Light refreshments will be served.
