Description
Grassed Buffers are linear strips of maintained grass or other non-woody
vegetation between the edge of fields and streams, rivers or tidal waters.
Grassed buffers help filter nutrients, sediments and other pollutants from
runoff, as well as remove nutrients from
groundwater.
Funding Source
Cost-Share funds are available for the implementation of grassed buffers through
the Maryland Agricultural Water Quality Cost-Share (MACS) program and USDA’s
Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP).
