ACS Objectives Maintain and restore: Watershed Features Connectivity Physical integrity Water quality Sediment regime In-stream flows Timing of floodplain inundation Thermal regulation Down wood distribution Habitat

ACS Components Key Watersheds Watershed Analysis Watershed Restoration Riparian Reserves

Identical Approaches to Attain ACS across Region not Supported Hot-spots of Ecological Function Disturbance (debris flow, fire, etc) Large WoodHeadwaters Tributary Junctions Terrestrial Wildlife Needs Thermal Loading Watershed Conditions Are Unequal

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

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

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?
