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.
