Abstract
The USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service has set a goal of enrolling 2
million miles of land in buffers by 2002 through the
National Conservation Buffer Initiative Program.
Buffers serve as effective measures in protecting water
quality, providing wildlife habitat, preserving
greenspace and enhancing recreational opportunities.
Cost share programs, state initiatives and other
conservation options can be utilized for increasing
miles of riparian buffers in Georgia. These
opportunities are discussed and current programs in
other states that may serve as models are highlighted.
