2023 Hudson Valley Farming Series Field Day: Riparian Buffers in Action

April 14, 2023


This workshop will combine an indoor classroom presentation along with a tour on a nearby farm to help participants understand the benefits of incorporating diversified agroforestry systems with an eye for resilience. During this offering, participants will learn how these types of buffers intentionally combine water quality protection with sustainable food and forest production. Presenters will touch on a variety of topics including basic stream function, buffer assessment and establishment, species selection, and marketing using our newly developed Multifunctional Riparian Buffer Guide. Join us to understand ways to incorporate native, perennial, and beneficial species into fruitful buffer systems that promote freshwater ecosystems.

REGISTER to receive additional information about driving and parking. Once participants arrive at the Agroforestry Resource Center, they will be given directions to the multifunctional riparian buffer field site.

This event is hosted by CCE Columbia and Greene Counties, Wellaway Farm, and CCE Harvest NY.
