Close observation of Monument Creek

The first task is getting to know the stream reach!  On Friday afternoon, after two days of discussion, reading of reports and published literature, and initial steps of assembly of the GIS database for the project, David Sachs and Will Rundquist got out on the bank of Monument Creek, for an assessment.  State of New Mexico environmental scientist Karen Menetry joined in on the walk and discussion. She was returning to Santa Fe after attending the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Society of Wetland Scientists.

CC interns Will Rundquist and David Sachs met up with environmental scientist Karen Menetrey, to observe the creek and talk over examples of riparian restoration approaches that are successful in similar settings in New Mexico.
