A conceptual diagram illustrates the practice of planting or maintaining buffer vegetation along the water's edge.
Buffer Vegetation as a Key Stewardship Behavior
An image illustrates the importance of cleaning up after pets, and of having pet cleanup materials available to the public.
Cleaning Up Pet Waste as a Key Watershed…
An image depicts the planting of cover crops, which grow during the winter season to stabilize the soil until the spring growing season.
Cover Crops as a Key Watershed Stewardship…
An image illustrates how lawn fertilizer can negatively impact the watershed when rain washes it into the water system.
Lawn Fertilizer Limitation as a Key Stewardship…
An image depicts a rain barrel attached to the downspout on the side of a house. These barrels collect rain to be reused at a later time.
Rain Barrels as a Key Watershed Stewardship…
An image depicts a rain garden, which is a bed of vegetation planted for the specific purpose of retaining rainwater and limiting runoff.
Rain Gardens as a Key Stewardship Behavior
An image depicts a house where an impervious concrete driveway has been replaced by special pavers that allow the ground below to retain water.
The Reduction of Hard Surfaces as a Key Watershed…
A conceptual diagram illustrates the seven key stewardship behaviors that can greatly impact the health of the watershed.
The Seven Key Stewardship Behaviors to Promote…
Mnemiopsis leidyi is a species of tentaculate ctenophore originally native to the western Atlantic but is now invasive in the Black, Caspian, North and Baltic Seas
Mnemiopsis leidyi (Comb Jelly)
Illustration of a ghost forest, which can be caused by sea-level rise, land subsidence, or both. As land subsides along the coast, trees can drown in saturated soils, creating ghost forests. Salt-water intrusion into groundwater can also cause salt-intolerant trees to die.

Conceptual diagram illustrating preparations for the effects of climate change: Elevating and moving houses and utilities away from flood plain boundaries make them less vulnerable to storms and may lower flood insurance rates. Rather than building a concrete levy to protect property, consider a natural shoreline that offers the same benefit.
Adaptation to Climate Change
Conceptual diagram illustrating preparations for the effects of climate change: In an area where all of the organisms are alike, it is possible to lose an entire population due to a single pest infestation. Landscape with a variety of native, drought-resistant plants to support biodiversity and resilient backyard communities.
