Riparian areas, the green vegetation zones along streams, rivers and lakes, are an important part of these water bodies’ health.
The Urban Riparian and Stream Restoration Program, coordinated by the Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI) in collaboration with Texas A&M AgriLife Research in Dallas, is bringing awareness, education and the value of stream restoration to urban areas around Texas.
In the article, Photo essay: Planting day at the Urban Riparian Demonstration site, view the photo essay about the program’s efforts to implement natural bank stabilization techniques at the demonstration site along Geronimo Creek at the Irma Lewis Seguin Outdoor Learning Center in Seguin, Texas.
