This grant from the National Park Service aims to increase understanding of river flow effects on cottonwood forests along the Green River in Canyonlands National Park and the Green and Yampa rivers in Dinosaur National Monument. By studying past flow conditions, the project seeks to improve land and water management strategies to boost cottonwood forest growth and ecosystem values in the Parks and across the Colorado River basin. Closing date: Aug 22, 2018.

| Description: | The goal of this project is to substantially increase the National Park Serviceâ¿¿s understanding of how changes in river flow regime and sediment availability and transport have affected cottonwood forests along the Green River in Canyonlands National Park (Canyonlands), and the Green and Yampa rives in Dinosaur National Monument (Dinosaur). By better understanding past conditions of flow and flood plain formation under which extensive cottonwood forests were produced, park management will be better able to articulate land and water management actions that are likely to enhance future recruitment of riparian cottonwood forests and related ecosystem values at these Parks and throughout the Colorado River basin. |
