Plant Buffer Workshop

  • Waldo County Soil & Water Conservation District (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Free Online Workshop. Installing buffers is one of the easiest ways to protect water quality in our lakes and ponds, improve wildlife habitat, adapt to more intense weather events, and increase property values. In this presentation you will learn what a resilient vegetated buffer looks like, its many benefits, why native plants are the best choice for your buffer and how to find them, and tips for planting. We will also introduce LakeSmart, an outreach and education program for homeowners that offers recommendations for lake-friendly practices. Presented by Jen Jespersen, Principal and Senior Scientist, Ecological Instincts & Andrea Stevens, LakeSmart Manager, Maine Lakes
