This document by Wildhorse Riverworks describes how to use live cuttings in revegetation projects.
Landhelp.info is for private land owners and managers, professionals, helpers, and students to learn how to better manage lands, animals and people.
This document, prepared by Weld County, discusses the appropriate way to calibrate a sprayer for herbicide application. Calibration is critical to ensure the correct amount of herbicide is applied; over application can injure desirable vegetation and under application can result in noxious weeds building up resistance to chemical over time.
Employing livestock to manipulate vegetation is as old as grazing itself. Promoting grazing to manage vegetation as a paid service – typically called prescribed or targeted grazing – is a more recent phenomenon. As targeted grazing has gained a foothold in the land management arena, both research and experience have evolved to provide land managers and grazing service providers with more definitive tools for managing vegetation.
This guide, produced by Wildlands Restoration Volunteers, describes appropriate techniques for gathering, storing and planting dormant willow cuttings for revegetation and bank stabilization projects.
Provided by Your Remarkable Riparian, this webpage provides a wealth of information about riparian restoration, including mini-modules, workshops, and presentations.
The purpose of this beautifully illustrated guide is to cultivate awareness of native riparian vegetation and appreciation for its role in proper riparian function.
The four primary objectives of this project were to: (1) compile existing geospatial data regarding the location and type of wetlands in Colorado; (2) initiate an on-the-ground pilot project to assess the ecological condition of common wetland types in one hydrologic basin (Rio Grande Headwaters, HUC 6: 130100); (3) develop statewide strategies for setting wetland restoration priorities funded by CPW’s Wetlands Program; and (4) develop an interactive online mapping tool to transfer this information to local and statewide partners in wetlands conservation.
Developed by the Pahranagat Valley Cooperative Weed Management Area, this fact sheet provides information on the ecology and treatment of Russian olive.
Developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this guide provides a simple key to help identify common willows, cottonwoods, alder, birch and dogwood.
This paper presents results of research on total insect abundance in both invasive and native dominated riparian areas.
This paper presents finding from several years of research along the Rio Grande examining the effects of woody invasives treatments on vertebrates.
This paper discusses how scientifically sound monitoring and research programs have the potential to strongly influence how managers look at the Rio Grande bosque and restoration approahes.
This document describes the appropriate way to utilize a frill cut treatment on Russian olive.
