Agroforestry & Riparian Planting

WHITE ARROW LAND WORKS offers agroforestry and riparian planting services that combine land management expertise with conservation-driven design. Riparian buffers — strips of native trees, shrubs, and vegetation planted along streams, rivers, ditches, and irrigation canals — are one of the most effective tools for protecting water quality, stabilizing streambanks, and creating wildlife habitat on agricultural and rural properties. Our crew handles the full process: site assessment, planting plan coordination, ground preparation, native plant installation, erosion control measures, and follow-up maintenance to give plantings the best chance to establish. We work with property owners, conservation districts, and agencies like the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to align planting work with local habitat and water quality programs. Agroforestry practices we support include riparian forest buffers, windbreaks, silvopasture edges, and alley cropping borders — integrating trees and shrubs into working agricultural land to reduce erosion, improve water retention, provide livestock shade, and build long-term soil health. These practices are well-suited to the dry, irrigated landscape of Eastern Washington and the Columbia Basin.
