Project Summary

The Youth Riparian Education Initiative is a collaboration of federal agencies and land grant universities to provide resources to engage youth in stewardship activities that support the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) riparian restoration goals. Project resources were primarily designed to help land managers communicate with the public about management techniques and decisions.
