Riparian buffers are zones around streams, lakes, and other waterways where trees, grasses, and shrubs grow in order to mitigate nutrient runoff and erosion. Vegetation surrounding agricultural lands in proximity to waterways helps to prevent excess nutrients and agricultural amendments such as pesticides from entering water sources. When agricultural runoff enters waterways, it can degrade water quality and cause strain on water treatment facilities, as well as pollute wetlands and reservoirs. Riparian buffers support water quality as stems and roots from plants help control the erosive force of water and keep banks in place, preventing sediment from entering the water. Vegetation around crop and pasture land filters animal waste, pesticides, and fertilizers. This picture shows newly-planted vegetation around a crop field in Millington, Maryland on August 1. The Sassafras River is not in the picture, but is very close to this field. This new vegetation represents efforts to improve water quality and sanitation, which is the UN’s 6th Sustainable Development Goal. From an ecological standpoint, the riparian buffer system provides many benefits to the surrounding community. The new vegetation can provide habitat for small organisms. The vegetation supports microbial communities in proximity to the farmland as well, which may be able to take up excess nutrients from agricultural runoff and prevent events such as algal blooms in surrounding waterways. Ultimately, the riparian buffer facilitates the flux of polluted or nutrient rich water to clean water into streams, lakes, etc. It also maintains the nutrient and water pools by keeping sediments and minerals in place where they can be beneficially used on land, rather than building up in waterways.

In celebration of Earth Day 2019, Ohio University's Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs teamed up with students from Amesville Elementary School to plant over 200 seedlings along Federal Creek. This applied educational effort will increase the vegetative buffer for the community and help reduce impacts from surrounding land use and flooding.
