COURT HOUSE – New Jersey Audubon will be hosting a tour to highlight restoration work that improves water quality, such as riparian buffers, grassed waterways, cover crops, and pollinator habitat. Learn about the initiatives of the New Jersey Audubon Stewardship Department and how they can provide technical and financial assistance to farmers and landowners interested in improving soil and water quality on their own property.
The tour will be held Nov. 1 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. with a rain date of Nov. 2 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Attendees will meet at the corner of Route 540 and Seabrook Road in Mannington Township, NJ.
Riparian buffers, grassed waterways, and cover crops play an important role in soil stabilization, water quality, and suitable wildlife habitat. Having a zone of trees, shrubs, and grasses between a field and a stream can help protect water quality by keeping soil and fertilizers from entering the stream. Buffers also provide wildlife with shelter, food sources and a safe travelling corridor. Join us to find out more about how NJA and their partners can help you get these beneficial practices on the ground.
New Jersey Audubon will be discussing funding opportunities including their Healthy Land and Water Grants, which provides landowners like you with incentive payments to help offset the price of installing a number of practices that preserve soil health and water quality.
Registration is required as space will be limited! Be sure the dress for the weather as we will be outdoors during the workshop.
