Forest & Riparian Buffer Conservation: Local Case Studies from the Chesapeake Bay Program

Description

This collection of case studies highlights the accomplishments of local governments and citizen organizations to recognize the importance of forests to their communities and to take action to retain and restore those forests. It illustrates, in two separate sections, innovative riparian buffer and forest conservation programs initiated and implemented locally by private citizens. It is intended for use as a resource for local organizations, to help point out effective and practical ways to reduce or reverse the loss of forest land.
