From Forests to Faucets: Building Better Buffers | NewsBreak

Boothbay Region Clean Drinking Water Initiative is bringing back the Forests to Faucets Lecture Series, Tuesday, March 11th at 5:30pm at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens Bosarge Center.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 want to buffer your property from unwanted sights or sounds, this talk is for you. Jacobs will explore the importance of vegetative buffers and ways to implement them on various sites using native and climate-adaptive species. Handouts will be provided for attendees to help implement the ideas shared on their properties.All sessions are free to the public. Participants do not need to attend all sessions (each session stands alone, and participants can attend as many or as few as they choose). Light refreshments will be served.
