Backyard Buffers

The Maryland DNR Forest Service presents the Backyard Buffers program. This program is designed to assist homeowners with 5 acres of land or less and who have a stream or other waterway on or adjacent to their property to create a stream-side buffer of native trees and shrubs. Supplies are limited and are handed out on a first come, first served basis.
