• Dolores River Restoration Partnership - Active Revegetation: Moving Forward

  This document discusses riparian restoration lessons learned by the Dolores River Restoration Partnership over the last five years. Working across two states, four Bureau of Land Management offices, and five counties, the Partnership has had a number of successes, total failures, and projects somewhere in the middle. 

  The document is organized into key revegetation components, including:

  • Passive versus active revegetation
  • Site selection
  • Species size and selection
  • Planting and seeding
  • Maintenance 
• Containerized Planting Techniques

  This video demonstrates how to properly install containerized plant materials at a restoration site. The type of container selected for your particular site should be based on your site access, access to water, soil conditions and available equipment. This video was funded by the Walton Family Foundation.
