A Riparian buffer is the forested land that runs along rivers, streams, ponds, and wetlands, for example, and is an invaluable ecosystem that reduces flooding, protects soil quality, helps keep water clean and provides a unique habitat for many native species. A headwater stream passes through our woods before it convenes with the Little River on the southern edge of our farm and thus we are not only in a unique position to be stewards of this incredible natural resource, but also learn and interact with it over the course of our lifetime.
In 2024, we partnered with Eno River Association on a watershed protection project that was funded by the City of Durham to place over 5 acres of our farm into conservation to ensure it is protected in perpetuity.
