About: Repairing vegetative streamside areas, also called riparian buffers, is a science-based method to:
- Improving water quality by reducing pollutants entering waterways through runoff, providing clean drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people in local communities.
- Restoring habitat for fish and native birds by planting native vegetation that provides sustenance and cools the water temperature.
Reducing flooding downstream.
Stream Team is an act of environmental stewardship, which is our guiding principle to protecting and restoring our critical waterways that are the lifeblood of the Lehigh Valley and Lehigh River.
