PRIVATE FORESTS ARE VITAL TO CLEAN WATER

 

Forests and well vegetated lands serve as a giant natural sponge, filtering and retaining storm water. The deep root system and vegetative base retains soil, soaks up water and filters contaminants. Woodlands protect both groundwater and surface water. Native cover allows proper infiltration of storm water into underground aquifers.
