Riparian Planting
Riparian planting is when someone plants trees and plants around a creek or river. When you have done that you should fence the creek if it is in a paddock so you keep the cattle out.
It is good because it soaks up the nasties that cattle leave behind so they don’t go into the river/creek. If it goes in the river it will go to the sea.
The second good thing is that the shade from the trees and plants keep the fish cool so they don’t get too hot and die. Would you like to have dead fish in your rivers and creeks?
The last good thing is how the roots of the plants hold the land together so erosion doesn’t happen. Erosion is when the banks fall into the creek or river.
