Riparian Buffer and Soil Conservation Workshop for Landowners: Funding Opportunities
Join the Lord Fairfax Soil and Water Conservation District, the VA Department of Forestry, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, and the Piedmont Environmental Council for a workshop on riparian forest buffers and soil conservation programs. Learn how buffers can improve water quality in our local watersheds and explore sources of funding for implementing buffers on your property.
This event is informal and designed for landowners to learn from each other’s experiences and engage with the presenters. Residential and rural landowners with a water resource of any size on their property (e.g., a river, stream, pond, wetland, etc.) are encouraged to attend.
We hope attendees will come away with a greater understanding of how they can improve water quality on their land AND go home with a native tree or shrub to plant!
