Five Steps to Improving the Water Quality
in Your Watershed
Determine if you are eligible for our riparian buffer program here. If your property is in Jefferson or Berkeley County, West Virginia, has water that may benefit from a riparian buffer planting (at no cost to you!), and you're interested in helping improve the water quality in your watershed, then you're most likely eligible!
Fill out the form below to let us know you're interested. We will be reviewing submissions on a continuous basis.
An SWCC partner will get in touch with you to schedule a site visit to your property to inspect the land, analyze the site, and discuss your priorities. Then, a buffer planting plan will be created and shared with you for your review and approval before installation.
Our partner, Trout Unlimited, will come to your property and plant the trees. Planting will occur in the Spring or Fall of 2024.
We will monitor the trees we planted through Spring 2025 and provide maintenance as needed. Thank you for helping us protect our watershed!
