[APWG] ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION HowTo Re: [RWG] WEB: Shrub-Steppe & Grassland Restoration Manual for Columbia River Basin

[Wayne Tyson]

APWG:

Thanks to Olivia for sharing this. It looks interesting, and it might be a 
good basis for ironing out some of the issues that have been covered and 
uncovered in recent postings.

I have not read it yet, so have no bias--I don't know how good it is or what 
defects it has, if any.

I suggest that this group explore this excerpt from the document:


"The manual is organized to answer the following questions:



Section 2:  What should I do with a degraded site?



To answer this question one must answer the following questions:



What do I have?



What was the historical condition?



What does the site have going for it or against it?



What is a site capable of becoming?



What do I have to work with?



What do I want the site to look like?"





I would appreciate hearing comments from all list subscribers on each of 
these points.



WT
