In our efforts to domesticate our lands and waters to the
benefit of man, we have inadvertently degraded their ability
to provide other uses. For example, by altering riparian areas
and wetlands, we have affected their ability to provide fish
and wildlife habitat as well as provide stream bank stability,
flood protection and water quality protection. Environmental
restoration tactics provide a means for remediating affected
areas so they are able to resume their former roles in the
water cycle of their community.
The PNW Regional Water Quality Program provides a broad range
of research-based educational materials devoted to environmental
restoration. These have been compiled and published in a 4-page
informational flyer. View
