Resources: Available! A New Guidance Tool to Monitor and Maintain Restoration Projec
|
|
Delaware Riverkeeper Network is pleased to announce the release of the Adopt-A-Buffer Toolkit, Monitoring and Maintaining Restoration Projects. This 133-page manual is designed for local watershed groups, restoration practitioners and volunteer monitors who implement stream restoration projects and who are seeking inexpensive, effective volunteer-based monitoring techniques to assess restoration projects.
Delaware Riverkeeper Network has field-tested protocols with volunteer monitors and is using this Toolkit for the foundation of their own Adopt-A-Buffer Initiative to help monitor over eighty restoration projects in the Delaware Watershed. The Toolkit is packed with useful information and includes a menu of monitoring protocols to choose from based on the type of restoration project implemented and the project goals. In addition, the Toolkit also includes a series of Maintenance Factsheets to help address common issues that can arise at restoration projects.
Monitoring protocols included are a visual assessment (Restoration Project Survey), photo-monitoring, macroinvertebrate monitoring, bank pin and stream cross section monitoring, and a wildlife survey.
A limited number of hard copies are available to local watershed groups who are actively implementing restoration projects at no cost. Others can obtain a hard copy for $15.00 plus shipping or a CD for $5.00 by calling 215-369-1188; or download a free pdf version of the toolkit by accessing the Delaware Riverkeeper Network monitoring link below, scrolling down the page to "Adopt-A-Buffer Initiative" and clicking on "Adopt-A-Buffer Toolkit".
