Riparian Buffer Restoration & Garden Adaptation for Sustainable Woodstock Community Garden at Billings Farm

Sustainable Woodstock is working with several partners and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources to restore the riparian buffer where the northern edge of our community garden at Billings Farm borders Barnard Brook. A 30% design has been completed with a generous grant from Watersheds United Vermont. Funding is now being sought for a 100% design, which will lay the groundwork to restore the riverbank to a healthy buffer. This will entail losing roughly 25% from the north end of the garden, which will be offset by creating an equal-sized new addition to the south end of the garden, as shown in the following map.
