===Buffer===
A minimum of a 3 m buffer strip from the maximum design water level mark should be installed to meet safety (e.g., restrict access to steep areas or inlet/outlet locations), wind screening, shading, aesthetic, and public amenity objectives. When possible,
*at least least 5 species should be planted in a random pattern to prevent the establishment of monoculture areas,
*a large number of young plant stocks, tree whips and seedlings should be planted along with a small number of large mature shrubs and trees, and
*a naturalized landscape approach should be used which strives for a vegetation community with long-term sustainability and no maintenance requirements.
See [[Shrubs: List]], and [[Trees: List]] for a list of native plants which could be used in the buffer strip.
