Description
The Working Lands program works with the professionals who manage pastures, farms, and forests to improve water quality. By partnering with individuals and communities we can restore the ecological function of healthy soil, maintain robust stream buffers, and replant native forests. Ecologically healthy lands soak up rain where it falls and prevent pollutant runoff.
