Holistic planning is necessary to insure a logical progression of the restoration process.
Restoration activities are being coordinated with respect to location, timing, type of project and resource need. The holistic approach starts with the headwaters, extending down to the mouth of the tributary, and incorporates the surrounding landscape within the subwatershed, in order to plan the area as a complete unit. The approach covers both private and public lands, and includes both instream and upslope projects. The Program seeks to work closely with local landowners, resource managers, and key interests within the area to coordinate planning, formulate goals and initiate activities to restore and improve the quality of our local watershed, and foster community development within the region. Recognizing, in these efforts, that restoration actions on private lands must be acceptable and beneficial to private landowners.
