Boothbay Region Clean Drinking Water Initiative is bringing back the Forests to Faucets Lecture Series, Tuesday, March 11 at 5:30 p.m. at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens' Bosarge Education Center, 132 Botanical Gardens Drive, Boothbay, with a program on building buffers.

Building a better buffer isn’t just for folks living on a water body. Buffers can support sediment and erosion control in any part of the watershed! Whether you are trying to improve your shoreline, reduce erosion from your driveway, improve habitat, or want to buffer your property from unwanted sights or sounds, this talk is for you. Jacobs will explore the importance of vegetative buffers and ways to implement them on various sites using native and climate-adaptive species. Handouts will be provided for attendees to help implement the ideas shared on their properties.
