Riparian buffers are vegetated or forested transitional zones between land and water resources, such as streams, rivers, lakes, ponds or wetlands.
The Piedmont Environmental Council is calling on community volunteers who love to get their hands dirty to join in any of three upcoming volunteer tree planting projects in October and November.
