The Thames River Basin Partnership has developed a brochure
on Backyard Conservation, and one on buffers for streams, lakes, and ponds. Both
of these have been developed for homeowners. You can
view these brochures on this website or receive them by mail if you prefer. The two publications are
below. The second one was produced for the TRBP by the Natural Resource Conservation
Service:
"Vegetated Buffer Strips for Streams, Lakes,
Ponds"
(This file is 2200KB and, depending on your internet
access, takes some time to download)
"Our Environment Begins with Your Yard"
One of our Partners, the ECCD, has an extensive library where you can find among other publications the following:
Forest Birds of the Last
Green Valley, an excellent new book created by the Bird
Conservatioin Research, Inc., and sponsored by the QSHC. The TRBP sponsored one
of the featured indicator birds- the Lousiana
Waterthrush.
Also please check out:
Getting in Step: A Guide
for Conducting watershed Outreach Campaigns. This, and other watershed
outreach materials, can be found in the ECCD library or accessed online here.
In addition you can view two large files (up to
3MB) slideshows. The
first, given by Dave Kozak of the DEP, gives an excellent breakdown of
development along the Thames:
"Land Cover,
Protected Open Space, and Public Access in the Lower
Thames River Basin (TRB)."
The second slide show includes an overview for
a successful Brownfield remediation project from the DEP's Elsie Patton, called:
"Connecticut Remediation
Programs."
