This educational video outlines different types of riparian zones that can may occur on your farm:
1. A grassland riparian zone found alongside a linear pond
2. A woodland riparian zone located beside a river
3. A woodland riparian zone located in an area of streams/wet ground
The video highlights how Tipperary-based Farming for Nature Ambassador Michael Hickey manages the riparian zones on his farm and the benefits that his type of management creates for nature, for his farm and for him and his family.
