Description:Riparian corridors provide multiple functions and values. They are the first line of defense against the impacts of impervious surfaces by slowing and filtering runoff. Vegetated riparian corridors also protect shorelines from erosion, aid in flood control, provide habitat for wildlife and moderate water temperatures for fish and other aquatic life. Additionally, riparian corridors may provide scenic value and privacy. The following is a list of plants native to Connecticut that can grow and thrive in these riparian corridors – areas in which soils are often wet or moist or which may be inundated at certain times after heavy rain events or due to snow melt. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather a sampling of some of the more common native plants that can grow under these conditions. There are numerous other native plants that will do well in upland buffer areas with drier soils that rarely, if ever, are inundated. These plants are not addressed here. Instead this list focuses on plants that can withstand periodic inundation or consistently wet to moist soils.
