Riparian woodlands and water protection
Riparian woodlands are those found in association with streams, rivers and lakes. They occupy a variable area along these water bodies, depending on slope and the size of the water body. This position means that they can exert a strong influence on the nature of the water environment and help to protect or buffer it from activities on the adjacent land.
