The PA Organization for Watersheds and Rivers is hosting a January 17 webinar-- Riparian Buffers…Not Just for Water Quality-- 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Riparian forests, meadows, and other natural areas adjacent to waterways are not only critical to protecting water quality in streams and rivers by reducing pollution impacts from stormwater runoff, they also serve as important habitat and migration corridors for many of Pennsylvania's native land (and air) based animals!

Knowing and understanding these additional benefits can help you engage and inspire more people in your community by tapping into the issues and creatures they may care most about.

During this free webinar, staff of the Game Commission and volunteers of Bird Town Pennsylvania will share their expert knowledge about mammal and bird species that use these habitats to feed, breed and raise young, take cover from predators, and migrate seasonally from their summer to winter homes.

There will also be plenty of time for conversations and questions.
