Cooperative Extension faculty and staff work with landowners every day on issues affecting their lives and livelihoods. This provides many opportunities for educating landowners about the role of riparian areas to protect streams.

A 2-page brochure summarizing this information was published in Fall 2002. View an HTML version of the flyer here or download the informational PDF flyer here.

Another part of this program has been the development of educational riparian publications with the theme of "taking care of streams." Specific publications are targeted at suburban homeowners, range managers, rural landowners, recreationists, farmers, land developers, and foresters. You can download copies of all available flyers by following the links below:
