Challenge is how to target education, particularly in terms of reaching younger people. Need to focus education on many levels including both children and grownups. Adults will get involved if they figure out how they affect the watershed and how to change their behavior. One way to educate is to provide money to volunteer groups to help. Education and involvement are important to help people understand that they're part of the ecosystem.
Restoration is professional work that creates an economic benefit.
May not be enough resources to support all the volunteer efforts in the watershed. Need better way than simply relying on neighbors to turn in neighbors. Educate first, then turn in bad actors. Concern that stream buffer requirements in floodplains are based on needs of steep slopes. Need better data so we can have buffers that protect farmland.
