The ESNERR Stewardship Program
The purpose of the Reserve’s stewardship program is to protect and restore coastal habitats in the Elkhorn Slough watershed, with emphasis on the Elkhorn Slough NERR (map).
The Reserve’s key stewardship goals are to:
- Protect intact, native habitats and sensitive species
- Restore degraded conservation targets
- Manage habitats that require ongoing manipulation
- Use restoration science and or adaptive management techniques that allow us to share, scientifically, with other land managers which techniques work, and which do not.
Program Components:
Stewardship Projects by Habitat
Invasive Species Control
Native Plant Greenhouse
Habitat and Species Inventory and Mapping
Restoration Science (Historical Ecology and Applied Experiments)
