WATERSHED PROTECTION : A HOW - TO SERIES
A series of models on Watershed Management programs developed by the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association
The Watershed Protection: A How-To Series models these watershed management programs. By sharing our knowledge and experiences, we seek to provide resources which other organizations can use to protect the landscapes and natural resources that we cherish and need. Unlike most models based solely on theory, these models take a unique approach and present theory that is grounded in practical experience and action. The models raise theoretical questions, provide examples and describe concrete steps taken by Stony Brook.

 Municipal Assessment: Partnering With Local Governments
This model guides you through a Municipal Assessment, an independent review of a local government’s zoning, ordinances, and policies to comprehensively evaluate its environmental and planning health and determine if its current structure meets the community's vision and is equipped to protect its natural resources. The model demonstrates how the assessment results in options for local governments to strengthen its local laws and adopt proactive, sound planning strategies in areas of potential improvement.
