The Watershed Project Management Guide, by Thomas E. Davenport
This book presents an approach to watershed management based on a collaborative process that responds to common needs and goals. This recommended process consists of a series of four basic phases: assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The four-phase approach helps watershed practitioners develop a plan consistent with the recently released USDA-EPA Watershed Management Planning and Implementation Process guide. The process can be used to implement a management strategy to meet the load allocations required by an approved TMDL, the goals of Source Water Protection Plan, USDA programs such as EQIP, or Section 319 projects. To order, visit www.crcpress.com or call 1.800.272.7737.

RiverSmart
RiverSmart will be sending out a Grassroots Tool Kit to all River Network Partner Groups. The Tool Kit, on CD-ROM, includes TV, print, and radio advertisements, along with helpful information about working with local media and building community support for your group. If you are not already a River Network Partner Group, you can still take advantage of additional components of the Tool Kit, which will be offered via the RiverSmart web site. Please visit www.riversmart.org to take the RiverSmart pledge. Contact Glin Varco at gvarco@rivernetwork.org or 503.241.3506 for assistance with the RiverSmart Campaign.
