Previous Episode: The Role of Riparian Forests in Supporting Bird Populations
When we talk about riparian forest restoration, a big piece of the puzzle is the land it happens on, and usually that land is privately owned. In this episode we speak with three landowners, including one recently-retired vegetable farmer, a dairy farmer, and a retired high school teacher who leases some of his land to a farmer, about their decisions to restore riparian forests on their land. We discuss what led them to make this decision, what was challenging about the project, how their new forests are doing now, and more!
