Riparian Buffer Plants

Plants suited to streambank, shoreline, and wetland buffer plantings — the work required under the NH Shoreland Water Quality Protection Act and the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act buffer zone.

Why plant a riparian buffer

• Protects water quality — deep-rooted trees, shrubs, and perennials that stabilize banks and filter runoff before it reaches the water.
• Meets buffer requirements — species appropriate for NH Shoreland and MA Wetlands Protection Act buffer plantings.
• Zoned to your plan — material for every band of the buffer, from the water's edge to the upland.

Wetland indicator status is listed on every product page so you can match the plant to the zone on your plan.
