The Buffer Builder Bag (B3) Program provides Raleigh property owners with free shrubs and tree seedlings to help improve the streamside buffer on their property.
Streamside buffers are plants and trees along streams, creeks, and rivers that prevent erosion and pollution. They absorb extra nutrients, reduce sediment, lower water temperatures, and stabilize stream banks.
Complete the Buffer Builder Bag Application before the season application deadline.
Spring 2024 Season - March 1, 2024 (closed)
Fall 2024 Season - August 1, 2024 (coming soon!)
