Editor's Note
"This is the last in our series of newsletters on working in nature's model. This issue is about watershed management and restoration. We think you will find it both informative and provocative. There has been much talk lately in the agencies and within funding organizations about working on a "landscape" or "watershed scale." Thus far, there has been little actual work on the ground within such a framework. The articles in this newsletter emphasize the importance of such work and why we need to start doing it soon."
