| Abstract: |
In this final chapter, we consider the overriding themes of riparian area management and list highlights and recommendations from each chapter.
Riparian forest management is concerned with the water as well as the forest. The combination of water and forest is both a feature of the landscape, and a priority in our values that has focused resource management on riparian issues. Riparian management has passed from a history of intense exploitation a century ago, through recent decades of neglect, to the intense demand for shared decisions we see today. Protecting the essential links between land and water ensures quality water and quality aquatic habitats. |
