Streamside Restoration


What are Best Management Practices (BMPs)?

BMPs are researched practices that improve water quality, soil health, wildlife habitat, and other natural resources. The District has a wealth of information concerning water quality, management of small- and large -scale farming operations, and implementation of best management practices (BMPs).

We can provide free planning and financial assistance for many BMPs, including:

  • Riparian area specific tree/shrug/plant plantings

  • Wildlife habitat improvements

  • Non-native weed removal

  • Fencing animals out of the water

  • Off-stream Watering

We all live in a watershed, but some of us live right along a river, stream or wetland. If you have one of these on your property, there are a lot of resources available to you. The area adjacent to the stream is called the riparian area. This area is very important for keeping our rivers and stream free of pollution, sediment (think cloudy water), and to keep them cool. By keeping our rivers clean, we all have space to connect with our rivers by fishing and swimming.
