Webinar: Implementing Watershed Action Plans in Ohio

Part 2: Stream Restoration as an Implementation Strategy to Address NPS Pollution

This second part of this webinar series on implementation provides a more in-depth look at stream restoration as one part of the suite of implementation strategies currently available to address non-point sources (NPS) of water quality impairments. We will provide an overview of a stream system and the services it can provide, discuss how to choose a restoration strategy and why, link project selection to funding sources and, once a project is selected, determine who potential collaborators are and why choose them as project partners.

Extraordinary People: Creating Extraordinary Communities

On March 7, 2007 Ohio State University Extension, Purdue University, and the University of Minnesota hosted a video conference to showcase stories of individuals making a difference in their communities by effectively linking land use and watershed management practices.

The goal of the video conference was to promote regional cooperation among watershed professionals in the Great Lakes states, document success stories, and encourage new approaches.

There were three featured "extraordinary people" from each state who shared their stories. Visit http://ohiowatersheds.osu.edu/ep/ to learn about these extraordinary individuals.

This project was funded with a grant from the USDA CSREES through the Great Lakes Water Quality Program. For more information about the project contact Anne Baird, Ohio State University Extension. Email: baird.41@osu.edu Phone: 614-292-8603
