Planting is used on lands needing permanent vegetative cover to prevent soil erosion, reduce the risk of chemical runoff, and provide other benefits. Conservation cover may include grasses, forbs, legumes, trees and shrubs. In orchards, vineyards, berries and nurseries, this practice can provide full cover in alleyways. Conservation cover may also be used to provide wildlife habitat, conserve and stabilize archeological species or sequester carbon.
