Watershed Protection and Restoration
Watershed Restoration Specialists offer technical assistance to landowners and communities to improve water quality through stormwater management and watershed restoration techniques.
In addition, we work with local and state governments, watershed organizations, and community groups to build partnerships, identify funding sources, and advise/assist in the planning, implementation of restoration projects.
We offer:
- Classes and workshops to teach homeowners how to improve water quality in their own backyard with practices like rain barrels, rain gardens, and tree planting.
- Technical Assistance Programs to help communities address Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) regulations and requirements.
- Watershed Restoration Specialists also connect watershed science to policy makers and community leaders to make the most effective water quality decisions.
