Excess nutrient loading, or eutrophication, can cause algae blooms, leading to low dissolved oxygen and high water turbidity, or cloudy water. Excessive use of fertilizers can also damage beneficial soil life that helps plants grow. Learn more about proper fertilizer use and lawn maintenance from our Tips for Green Leaders Lawn Maintenance Fact Sheet, the EPA GreenScapes program, or the University of Maryland Extension.

A riparian buffer of various width comprised of native shrubs and trees along 500 feet of streams, seeps, intermittent springs, and the pond is located here. The plants have naturally generated through rewilding, as has the forest. Hope an estimate of the # of them is ok to count this as already complete.
