Heroic Tales of Wetland
Restoration tells of
12 rural landowners, who
changed their farming practices to reclaim wetlands, streams and
rivers. Their stories span Oregon. They have worked hard to restore
oxbows, lush with sedges and cattails, forging partnerships with
landowners, state and federal agencies, non-profits and community
groups. The first section of this book includes these tales of vision,
passion, perseverance, and economic survival. The second section
describes land conservation options and a range of state and federal
technical assistance and funding programs. The last section includes
descriptions of the restoration techniques employed by the landowners,
as well as recommendations for the future. It outlines difficulties
experienced by landowners working with federal and state incentive
programs
