This is another of our studies that I really value for getting us out to the same streams throughout the year, with a snapshot here of a few of our fall and winter sampling events.
Three stream sites as columns over five sampling events as rows from fall (top) through mid-winter (bottom), taken from bridge crossings looking upstream. The stream in the left column is adjoined primarily by row crop fields with a wood lot in the distance. The stream in the middle column has an intact riparian buffer with leaves changing color at the top rows through absent in the bottom rows. The stream in the right column is the largest and is neighbored by dense riparian forest with a ridgeline visible in the middle distance.

Individual states can promote river protection through new or strengthened riparian buffer legislation, administrative rules, or agricultural/forestry best practices. Protecting rivers flowing through private lands, such as those offered by easements or land trust acquisitions/agreements, is key.

Supporters say the riparian buffer protections are long overdue and would align Connecticut with the rest of New England.

Riparian buffers help more than just streams and rivers in agricultural landscapes. Lab Masters student Olivia Reves used environmental DNA (eDNA) to quantify the benefit of riparian buffers to terrestrial wildlife in downstate Illinois; open access at doi.org/10.1111/1365...
A figure showing a stream without a forested riparian buffer in the top panel and a stream with a forested riparian buffer in the bottom panel. A cartoon water bottle with a DNA symbol in each water bottle directs to adjacent insets with silouttes of representative wildlife at each stream, with the forested stream having more species and including amphibians, reptiles, bats, and flying squirrels.

Kenmore's council is diving deep into riparian buffer policies, weighing options that could reshape property use and environmental protections in the community.

#KenmoreKingCounty #WA #CitizenPortal #CommunityOutreach #KenmoreStreams #UrbanPlanning #EnvironmentalPolicy
Kenmore council holds wide‑ranging discussion of stream buffer policy options; no decision tonight
Staff presented three WDFW‑aligned riparian buffer options (low, medium, high/Site Potential Tree Height), reviewed parcel and acreage impacts, and fielded extensive council questions about implementation, reasonable‑use exceptions, incentives and outreach; staff will return with additional information and outreach proposals in 2026.

Working group leans toward using Inland Wetlands law to add riparian buffer protections
Speakers told the Riparian Buffers Working Group that placing buffer protections under the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Act would align with environmental statute interpretation and the technical capacity of wetlands agencies, while zoning placement could prompt narrower judicial construction and overlapping jurisdiction. The group asked DEEP’s

Ever heard of a riparian buffer? 🤔 Chances are, you've seen one without even knowing it.

These natural zones between land & water are little-known areas with an important job — filtering pollution, preventing floods & protecting wildlife.

Learn how restoring them can help revive entire ecosystems.
What are riparian buffers? And how does restoring them on private lands create (literal) downstream benefits? -
The zones between land and a river are a key to watershed restoration. Learn about what they are, what they do, and how to restore them.

Right but these tree regs seem to have more in common with the riparian buffer regulations Beth mentions that consistently come under legal threat than traditional zoning. The state is essentially using eminent domain for the tree and land underneath it without compensation.
