Buffer strips as conservation tool span fields and roadsides
Buffer strips improve water quality and soil conservation by lining field borders and waterways with grass or trees. Grass buffers slow runoff and trap nutrients, while forest buffers protect crops and wildlife and can absorb heavy rainfall. Plantings like canary grass, Kentucky 31 tall fescue, sawtooth oak, white pine, and red oak promote biodiversity. shrubs enhance wind protection and field borders.
