This 57-page guide from the Salt Lake County Watershed Planning & Restoration Program explores the basics of protecting water quality, streamside habitat, and property values. While written for the Salt Lake area, the information contained in this guide is applicable to a wide range of landowners.
In this guide you’ll find out how you and your neighbors can:
The Land Treatment Digital Library (LTDL) was created by the U.S. Geological Survey to catalog legacy land treatment information on Bureau of Land Management lands in the western United States. The LTDL can be used by federal managers and scientists for compiling information for data-calls, producing maps, generating reports, and conducting analyses at varying spatial and temporal scales. The LTDL currently houses 26,621 treatments from BLM lands across 13 states.
The Native Seed Network is a resource for both the restoration community and the native seed industry, providing powerful search tools and information on all aspects of native seed.
In this report, a restoration and monitoring plan for the San Rafael River, a tributary to the Green River in the upper Colorado River Basin, is presented. The plan is intended to guide restoration and management of the San Rafael River over the next 40-50 years and is developed as an adaptive management plan. The recommended restoration actions are intended to recover and enhance natural river processes, and are based on the best available information regarding the history of hydrologic, geomorphic, and ecological changes that have occurred on the river over the last century.
Written by 44 of the field's most prominent scholars and scientists, this volume compiles 25 essays on tamarisk--its biology, ecology, politics, management, and the ethical issues involved with designating a particular species as "good" or "bad".
This guide by Drs. Scott Nissen, Andrew Norton, Anna Sher, and Dan Bean offers targeted guidance on how to develop management plans, implement various control strategies, and plan restoration for treated sites.
This document lists, by topic, peer-reviewed journal articles pertaining to riparian restoration, invasive species, and related research.
This website, which is sponsored by the Colorado Native Plant Master Program, is designed to help people find research-based information about plants that grow in the wilds of Colorado. Plants can be searched for by name, specific characteristics, and blooming season.
This easy-to-use website site-specifically estimates spotted knapweed and leafy spurge impacts on grassland biomass production and wildlife and livestock forage. The weed impact calculations help land managers identify appropriate weed management option for their situation.
Encyclopedic in scope, this book is the first to cover North American weeds at every stage of growth. The book is organized by plant family, and more than five hundred species are featured. Each receives a two-page spread with images and text identification keys. Species are arranged within family alphabetically by scientific name, and entries include vital information on seed viability and germination requirements.
Using three different methods to examine evapotranspiration, this poster presents the findings from a study that examined groundwater levels pre- and post-fire in a tamarisk dominated area at Cibola National Wildlife Refuge.

The Nursery Manual for Native Plants - A Guide for Tribal Nurseries covers all aspects of managing a native plant nursery, from initial planning through crop production to establishing trials to improve nursery productivity into the future.
This document is primarily intended to provide restoration guidance for land owners and land managers. Emphasis is placed on the use of planning, evaluation, and removal techniques that can minimize active revegetation efforts. Information about species and planting methods appropriate to this watershed is also included. In addition, some suggestions about Russian olive removal techniques and/or land management practices that facilitate native plant regeneration are also provided.
Herbicide Application Techniques for Woody Plant Control
The aim of this publication is to detail the techniques for the removal of woody plants.
