Urban and suburban sites present unique challenges for implementing or preserving riparian buffers. In this course, we focus on how to effectively design an aesthetically pleasing urban buffer that overcomes these challenges while helping meet water quality and habitat restoration goals. This interactive three-part workshop will combine online learning with an optional field trip to one of three sites in Virginia. Participants will then work collaboratively in small groups to develop a design for an urban buffer. The course will be led by CBLP instructors and guest speakers and will also cover:
Introduction to riparian habitats and ecology
Regulatory and legal considerations for working on urban buffers
Common design challenges for urban buffers and strategies to address them
Buffer case studies: inspiration for design
Business and marketing opportunities
