Pay for Performance: Fast, Cost-Effective, Durable Water Quality Solutions
When it comes to meeting water quality and pollution reduction targets, riparian forest buffers often outperform the alternatives, such as stream or wetland restoration. Riparian forest buffers require less permitting, can often be planned and installed within weeks, and add value every year as the forest matures.
What governments get:
Fast delivery. Riparian forest buffer projects can be planned and executed in a fraction of the timeline of a stream or wetland restoration project.
Cost-effective results. Riparian forest buffers avoid the heavy engineering, construction, and permitting costs that drive up the price of stream restoration.
Durable solutions. A forest buffer grows, regenerates, and continues to deliver greater water quality benefits year over year. Keystone handles ongoing project maintenance and monitoring, to remove any invasive species and to ensure the trees are able to thrive long-term.
Trusted partner, built to scale. Keystone has planted approximately 170 acres of riparian forest buffers during the past 3 years. We focus on scaling implementation through efficient process design and continuous improvement.
