Health of riparian systems is paramount to overall stream health. Program goals of the Texas Riparian and Stream Ecosystems workshop were to facilitate the promotion of healthy watersheds and improve water quality through the delivery of riparian and stream ecosystem education programs with a focus on priority watersheds; increase citizen awareness, understanding, and knowledge about the nature and function of riparian zones, their benefits, and BMPs to protect them and minimize NPS pollution; and connect landowners with local technical and financial resources to improve management and promote healthy watershed and riparian areas on their land.
