HARTFORD - State Rep. Mark Anderson (R-Granby) participated in the off-session working group to study and propose recommendations that will help preserve Connecticut's riparian buffer areas.

It acts as a natural, vegetated protective zone between land and water, filtering pollutants, stabilizing banks, and providing wildlife habitat.
