What is a Riparian Habitat?

Riparian habitat thrives in areas adjacent to water, such as streams and wetlands, playing a vital role in supporting biodiversity. Along the Greenway, native riparian plants have been strategically placed along the bottom and sides of the bioswale, recreating the functions of a natural stream. These plants help filter runoff, stabilize the soil, and provide essential habitat for local wildlife, enhancing the ecosystem while improving water quality.
