Stream Bank Restoration Program - Georgia SWCC and USFW Partners
-
The Cooperative Agreement for Stream Bank Restoration Program assists landowners through public-private partnerships by offering advice and funding for habitat projects on private lands that restore and protect wetlands and other wildlife habitat that might otherwise go unprotected. The funding for this cost-share initiative is provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Program to GSWCC and provides incentives to install practices that improve riparian buffers and repair and protect stream banks. Project applications are prioritized in order to address priority watersheds and to provide maximum benefit to the 63 species on Georgia’s Threatened & Endangered Species List.

Georgia Streambank and Shoreline Stabilization manual
-
This chapter provides non-structural and structural practices that stabilize and protect streambanks and shorelines from the negative effects of land erosion. For water quality purposes—bioengineering and non-structural practices using native vegetation are preferred over conventional “hard armoring” such as riprap, seawalls, and bulkheads.

Connecticut Landowner information on Healthy Riparian Zones
-
This brochure from CT DEEP explains the benefits of riparian buffers. Low Impact Development (LID) techniques manage stormwater runoff by mimicking the natural movement of water in the environment and preserving the pre‐development hydrology of a site. If your property includes or borders water features, one of the easiest and most cost effective methods for protecting water quality is to PLANT A VEGETATED RIPARIAN AREA.
