Riparian Planting

Riparian Planting

Riparian planting is when you plant trees, plants, and fences to keep rivers and creeks healthy.  Fences keep cows, pigs, goats and sheep out of the creeks and rivers.

Plants soak up the nutrient run off (poos and wees). If we don’t put fences around the creeks and rivers all the poos and wees will go in the ocean.

Farmers have fences around their rivers and creek so cows don’t poop in it. Farmers put lots of plants, trees, fences and flax around rivers and creeks.

They put the fences around the creeks and rivers because they don’t want cows, sheep, goats or pigs pooping or peeing in the rivers or creeks.They also put fences around the creek and because the cow poop and wee will pollute the rivers and creek.

In summary, I think you should put riparian planting around your creeks and rivers. You need to put riparian planting around your creeks and rivers.
