The lead here is this line: "But while forest buffer planting may be gaining momentum, the watershed has lost more forest buffers than its gained as of data collected in 2017/2018." It is so important that we work to have voluntary permanent buffer protection programs available to those who want to incentivize permanent riparian buffer protection. That way we can make sure that these gains from all of these recent programs and plantings are durable and make lasting impact in the long term.
