Available resources providing techniques and methodology for riparian restoration project design and applicable science include but are not limited to:
Tech note, 2017. Produced by USDA – NRCS. List of riparian trees and shrubs by Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA’s) and contain relatively common species available from plant nurseries.
Publication, 2018.Produced by Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Volume 1 is a partial update of a 1997 document entitled Management Recommendations for Washington’s Priority Habitats: Riparian. This document Riparian Ecosystems, Volume 1:Science Synthesis and Management Implications is a partial update because it addresses only aquatic species. Riparian needs of terrestrial species will be updated in the future. Until that update is complete, reader scan consult the 1997 document, available at wdfw.wa.gov/publications/00029.
Publication,2020. Produced by Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Volume 2 isa partial update of an earlier document entitled Management Recommendations for Washington's Priority Habitats: Riparian because while it includes considerations for terrestrial species, it only fully addresses the needs of aquatic species. Provides land use decision support for management recommendations and technical assistance.
Publication,2012. Produced by the Washington State Aquatic Habitat Guidelines Program. Guidelines developed integrated approaches to marine, freshwater, and riparian habitat protection, and restoration.
Website. Produced by the Washington Native Plant Society and includes an interactive map filtered by county that features a compilation of plant lists from various websites.
Publication, 2015. Published by Cowlitz Conservation District, Harza Northwest Inc. and Pierce Conservation District, this guide is intended to be used as a general reference for landowners planting riparian areas on their land.
PowerPoint published by USDA – NRCS on specific steps to encourage riparian function in eastern Washington.
Publication, 2010. Map produced by EPA breaking down Washington State into Ecoregions.
Publication, 2002. Produced by the Department of Natural Resources and the US Forest Service. This publication provides general seed transfer guidelines for WA and includes seed collection zones for common native trees.
Online database. Produced by Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. This mapping tool provides 200-year Site Potential Tree Height information at the parcel level.
Online database. GIS mapping program designed to help foresters, landowners, and land managers to consider climate change when planning reforestation and afforestation projects. This online tool maps climate variables important to tree growth, reproduction, and survival.
Website. Produced by Bonneville Environmental Foundation with links to a newsletter aimed at engaging PNW restoration practitioners, nursery partners, and researchers with topics centered around climate resilience and adaptation.
Publication,2021. Produced by the University of Minnesota and Department of Forest Resources. Features a guide to a cultivation technique designed to use less water. This technique is currently being used for an RPPP funded cultivation site at Kitsap Conservation District.
