A filter strip is an area of vegetation established for removing sediment, organic material, and other pollutants from runoff and wastewater. This video explores how Eddie Culberson implemented this practice in Chatham County, North Carolina. Practice benefits:
• Reduces erosion
• Protects groundwater
• Improves soil organic matter
• Reduces runoff
• Improves water quality
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
