Riparian Buffers with Eastern Connecticut Conservation District
This project involved the installation of vegetated buffers along streams and coastal riparian corridors using native plants to provide flood control, filter or trap pollutants and provide food and shelter for critical pollinator species. We worked with ECCD in their goal to create and map of one connected pollinator pathway on town, residential, business, and open space properties along the Tri-town multi-use recreational trail (City and Town of Groton, Ledyard, and Preston) and a second pathway from the City of Groton to the Town of Stonington.
