UConn CLEAR webinar Recorded April 23, 2026
Presenters: Juliana Barrett, Owen Placido, Dave Dickson, UConn CLEAR & CT Sea Grant
The UConn CLEAR and CT Sea Grant team have been working over the past
year to integrate information and develop tools for better management
and restoration of riparian buffers in Connecticut. Please join us for
an interactive presentation by UConn CLEAR and CT Sea Grant focused on
the status of riparian buffers in our state, land use trends within
riparian buffers, recent legislative updates, and a new upcoming tool
for landowners to manage and restore this critical habitat in
Connecticut. We will be seeking your feedback on how to tailor outreach
information and the new riparian buffer tool to increase the positive
impact of riparian buffers in our watersheds. This webinar is the first
in a three-part series , with the next webinar exploring the new tool in
depth, and the final one comprised of short presentations from
watershed groups on how they are working to protect, manage and restore
riparian areas.
