The purpose of this resource, created by AloTerra Restoration Services, is to provide general recommendations for monitoring and maintenance of restored conditions in restored riparian areas of Colorado, such that information gathered from monitoring efforts can influence ongoing land management necessary to accomplish project goals. It is important to note that monitoring plans and maintenance strategies must be tailored to the specific site in question. The unique abiotic and biotic conditions of the site, restoration and other management goals, available resources, and other factors will have a large influence on the final monitoring and adaptive management protocols being employed for a given restoration project.
