Monitoring is necessary for evaluating the effectiveness of restoration actions. This covers how to design an efficient and effective monitoring program that yields information helpful for ongoing restoration management decisions and problem solving.

Topics

  • Select parameters for monitoring
  • Develop monitoring protocols
  • Implement monitoring protocols and quality control procedures
  • Effectively summarize data in graphs and tables
  • Analyze monitoring data to make practical decisions

It is strongly recommended, but not required, that students complete the Site Assessment for Ecological Restoration course before taking the other courses in the series, as the Site Assessment course lays the groundwork for the subsequent courses.
