Local Level UMRS Restoration Work

Project Goals:

Potential local level river restoration efforts cover a wide range of activities. Prairie Rivers Network will focus upon increasing local involvement in restoration issues. We envision our primary work will be in organizing interested local groups to get involved with restoration efforts limited only by the extent they want to be involved and by their own capabilities. The minimum level of local involvement we will pursue is for the groups to raise local awareness of the ecological problems associated with the river. Along with this we will encourage them to support our efforts to increase both state and federal funding for restoration work.
