Delaware County SWCD Planting Projects
The Susquehanna Program of the Delaware County Soil and Water Conservation District has coordinated several tree plantings this spring and summer utilizing USC funding agreements to re-establish riparian buffers along streams in the Susquehanna River Watershed.
In early May, Williams Forestry and Associates planted two buffer areas: a 3.4 acre site with 475 trees and shrubs; the second consisted of 325 trees and shrubs on a little over two acres. Williams Forestry’s professionalism was evident in the quality and appearance of the plantings.
Jessica Moore of Stamford, NY, and Hunter McRee of Doylestown, PA, will serve as Buffer Stewards this summer with the Susquehanna Program, replanting three CREP buffers to bolster tree and shrub numbers to comply with requirements for CREP re-enrollment. They are eager to learn more about Riparian Forest Buffers and to meet their goal of 1600 trees on fifteen acres. The two will follow up with the USC Buffer Stewardship Program’s buffer evaluation process.
