All the states in the Chespaeake Bay watershed are falling behind their targets for excluding livestock from streams and planting riparian forest buffers.
I’ve spent a lifetime “getting more on the ground” and I want to share how we made it happen in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. It’s in this book, and it’s free. —Bobby Whitescarver

We have to sell conservation from the farmer’s perspective not ours.
I’ve never had a farmer tell me he installed riparian forest buffers because they wanted to sequester more carbon, or create pollinator corridors. The most important part of the buffer system from the livestock farmer’s perspective is the watering system. Improving herd health and removing livestock from “calving risk” areas are high on their list as well.
Streams flowing through forested buffers are 2 to 8 times more capable of processing in-stream pollutants.
