Tour a 25 acre riparian buffer project at Northeastern School District Thursday, October 30th from 3:30-5pm. The project was made possible through a partnership with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and the Penn State Master Watershed Stewards. It was fully funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Natural Resources. It contributed to both York County’s and the state’s sediment and nutrient reduction goals for local streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. It sets an example for other school districts and other landowners such as businesses, hospitals, college campuses, etc. who collectively own large amounts of land suitable for similar efforts. In addition, students and community volunteers were involved with the planting, and the newly planted buffer provides endless educational opportunities across various subjects.
