USC Buffer Team Riparian Restoration Planning Webinar
With funding from NYSDAM entitled our “State Buffer Program”, USC plans to support both buffer planning and implementation, and reimburse district staffing costs for completing these riparian restoration planning activities (aka Buffers). This training will inform attendees on how to access the planning funding, complete a riparian restoration plan, and gain insight as to how conservation easements tie in with riparian buffer establishment.
