Stream Steward Restoration Guide:
A Small Woodland Owners Guide to Stream Habitat Restoration This 45-page guide provides family forest owners with a “crash course” in the basics of stream restoration. It provides woodland owners with practical information on assessing and selecting a site, finding experts to assist with the project, getting funds and permits, and monitoring and maintaining the project’s results.
