Our Approach
1. Research
Generate knowledge through primary research
Develop remote sensing (e.g. lidar) and economic approaches to optimize stream restoration targets
Conduct field experiments and initiate catchment councils as testbeds for data-driven action
Assemble and evaluate relevant data to quantify restoration success
2. Education
Initiate Certificate Programs at F&M in Watershed Science, Economics, and Policy
Promote experiential learning
Conduct workshops and field trips with local schools, museums, and practitioners
3. Action
Implement legacy sediment removal-based restorations and perform ongoing monitoring with the help of our collaborators
Knowledge transfer
Engage with landowners, youth, and communities
Enhance opportunities for participation in research, restoration, and environmental stewardship
