Excerpt from Watershed Program Evaluation, East Willow Creek, Minnesota Investment in all works of improvement installed in the East Willow Creek Watershed Project between 1954 and 1960 totaled The structural measures cost and the land-treatment measures The number of structures installed for flood prevention, land stabilization, and sediment control was smaller than estimated in the initial project plan. Land-treatment measures replaced many of the planned structural measures. The full impact of this comprehensive soil and water conservation program was not ascertained by this study. Analysis of this kind would require the collection and measurement of additional physical and economic data over a much longer period.

Excerpt from Watershed Program Evaluation: Plum Creek, Kentucky The watershed-protection program for Plum Creek Watershed is nearing completion. In terms of cost, about 80 percent of the land-treatment meas ures have been installed. Nine of the 12 floodwater-retarding structures needed have been constructed. This interim report sets forth the plan of evaluation in operation, accomplishments under the plan, and some preliminary estimates of project effects. Progress in evaluation of effects of the watershed program has be limited thus far primarily to collection and analysis of basic watershed data.

This is the New York State edition of the GIC's guide to evaluating and conserving green infrastructure (GI) across the landscape. It provides an historical background to GI, as well as practical steps for creating GI maps and plans for a community. It discusses issues around evaluating green assets, public involvement in the mapping process, and the practical steps in bringing together GIS information into a useful format. It draws from twelve field tests GIC has conducted over the past six years in a diversity of ecological and political conditions, at multiple scales, and in varied development patterns – from wildlands and rural areas to suburbs, cities and towns. This guide is intended to help people make land management decisions which recognize the interdependence of healthy people, strong economies and a vibrant, intact and biologically diverse landscape. Green infrastructure consists of our environmental assets – which GIC also calls ‘natural assets’ – and they should be included in planning processes. Planning to conserve or restore green infrastructure ensures that communities can be vibrant, healthful and resilient. Having clean air and water, as well as nature-based recreation, attractive views and abundant local food, depends upon considering our environmental assets as part of everyday planning.

With a long history and deep connection to the Earth’s resources, indigenous peoples have an intimate understanding and ability to observe the impacts linked to climate change. Traditional ecological knowledge and tribal experience play a key role in developing future scientific solutions for adaptation to the impacts. The book explores climate-related issues for indigenous communities in the United States, including loss of traditional knowledge, forests and ecosystems, food security and traditional foods, as well as water, Arctic sea ice loss, permafrost thaw and relocation. The book also highlights how tribal communities and programs are responding to the changing environments. Fifty authors from tribal communities, academia, government agencies and NGOs contributed to the book. Previously published in Climatic Change, Volume 120, Issue 3, 2013.
