Science Explorers: The Amazing Benefits of Riparian Ecosystems

Riparian zones are lands that occur along the edges of rivers, streams, lakes, and other water bodies. They are different from the surrounding uplands because their soils and vegetation are shaped by the presence of water. Join our wildlife biologist on a lakeside riparian walk to learn about the amazing biodiversity riparian zones provide and the importance of protecting this critical resource.
