This funding supports the Stroud Center’s research and restoration teams to participate in the Delaware River Watershed Initiative’s focus areas within the Brandywine-Christina, Middle Schuylkill, and Schuylkill Highlands watersheds where restoration and land preservation efforts are underway in highly targeted locations. Professional and volunteer monitoring plans for chemistry, macroinvertebrates, and fish, as well as evaluation and communication plans, were developed and implemented as part of restoration and protection plans. These efforts represent invaluable (and often neglected) tools to evaluate and communicate short- and long-term progress toward conservation priorities and goals.
