Multifunction Riparian Forest Buffers are designed and managed for both riparian ecological benefits and for harvestable crops. These systems are an evolving practice within our region with growing interest from landowners, restoration practitioners, and technical staff from Conservation Districts and other governmental and private entities. With funding through a WSDA Specialty Crop Block Grant and a Western SARE Research and Education grant; Snohomish Conservation District is partnering with Whidbey Island Conservation District, Skagit Conservation District, and WSU Extension Forestry on developing regionally specific agronomic practices for creating multifunctional buffers on overly-wet marginal farmlands. Further collaboration with NOAA and University of Washington is focusing on unique agroforestry-centric riparian restoration practices for multifunctional riparian forest buffers on Tribal owned property within Snohomish County.
