Pasture walks, technical assistance, and cost-share assistance are available as part of the program. Those in attendance were offered hands-on experience in stream stabilization and restoration techniques that involve planting trees and shrubs. Vegetation is important on streams because it reduces erosion, enhances fish habitat by shading the water, and filters out chemicals, sediments, and animal waste pollutants. The Partnership helps growing communities protect their soil resources from erosion. They also review plans for stormwater control and issue permits.
Local inspectors check compliance to ensure natural resource conservation on development sites.
