Riparian Rangers provided much-needed maintenance support on newly planted riparian forest buffers.
Many traditional riparian forest buffer programs do not provide much follow-up after the initial planting, which often results in the sites struggling due to invasive species pressure, flood damage, animal browsing, and low tree survivorship.
Our Riparian Rangers volunteers provide maintenance support to riparian forest buffer tree planting efforts within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
The goal of the Riparian Rangers project is to boost collective capacity and success by monitoring and tending to forest plantings monthly during their growing season. This extra care yields a higher tree survival rate and more effective restoration efforts.
