To the editor:Property owners may have interpreted last week’s StreamWise article as indicating a 15-foot riparian buffer is sufficient. However our guidance is that property owner’s should endeavor to maintain a minimum 50-foot buffer on properties over an acre in size and 30-feet for those less than an acre. In general, the wider and more heavily vegetated the buffer the better water quality is maintained and the impact of flooding is mitigated. Chris SteelGreensboro

EAST HARDWICK, GREENSBORO BEND – Volunteers from the Greensboro Association and the Greensboro Conservation Commission planted 75 willow trees on Saturday, Nov. 9, in East Hardwick and Greensboro Bend as part of the Stream Wise program. Stream Wise engages property owners to help them enhance and protect vegetated stream buffers, increasing flood resiliency and benefiting water quality and natural habitat.

GREENSBORO – The Watershed Stewards of Greensboro and the Upper Lamoille have presented the first Streamwise Award to Karl Stein and Judy Carpenter of Greensboro Bend for the quality of the vegetative buffer that has been allowed to develop on their land along the Lamoille. Stein and Carpenter said they were surprised because, “we have done very little.” The couple heard about the award on the anniversary of their wedding which took place 44 years ago on the same property where they live.

GREENSBORO BEND – On Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27, a volunteer team led by the Watershed Stewards of Greensboro (part of the Greensboro Association) and Orleans County Conservation District, planted close to 400 trees in Greensboro Bend at the property of Pierrette Lyman. Lyman had asked for a Streamwise Assessment to be completed on her land in early 2023. Her property abuts the Lamoille River and was significantly impacted by the floods of July 2023.
