The USDA National Agroforestry Center has released the latest tool for planning and designing buffers in rural and urban landscapes. Conservation Buffers: Design Guidelines for Buffers, Corridors, and Greenways provides over 80 illustrated design guidelines that describe a specific way that a vegetative buffer can be applied to protect soil, improve air and water quality, enhance fish and wildlife habitat, produce economic products, provide recreation opportunities, or beautify the landscape. This publication is available online, as a downloadable PDF, or can be ordered as a spiral-bound field guide.
