Conservation Buffer Strips

Conservation Buffer Strips are areas or strips of land maintained in permanent vegetation, designed to intercept pollutants and erosion. Placed around fields, they can enhance wildlife habitat, improve water quality, and enrich aesthetics on farmlands. Various types of buffers include Contour Buffer Strips, Filter Strips, Riparian Forest Buffers, Field Borders, Windbreaks/Shelterbelts, Hedgerows, Grassed Waterways, and Alley Cropping.
