8. ACS Research & Monitoring Studies & Models Riparian Buffer Intrinsic Potential Down wood Sediment Debris flow Aquatic-Riparian Effectiveness Monitoring Program (AREMP)

9. ACS: Where are we today? Watershed Analyses: ghost of intentions past? Key Watersheds: update needed Watershed Restoration: a future for density management as a way of business managing for natural disturbances managing for early-seral climate change integration

10. ACS: Where are we today? Riparian Reserves Role of federal lands in region has changed Riparian restoration is a priority Managing zones within Interim RR boundaries Integration of thermal loading, natural disturbance, & climate change

11. ACS: Where are we today? Research & Development New tools for watershed assessment and Riparian Reserve delineation Landscape connectivity designs Water quality research needed Monitoring Ongoing Budgets shrinking - do same with less?
