Approach
Manage for resilience of groundwater-dependent ecosystems, springs and wetlands by considering the broader forest landscape, including uplands
Tactics
- Assess the health of the system and potential resilience to changes in the water supply during the growing season; prioritize areas for management based on the results of the assessment.
- Devise a protocol to assess spring flows and volumes in groundwater-dependent ecosystems.
- Control invasive species in groundwater-dependent ecosystems using early detection
- rapid response.
