<br />restored wetlarids~ This will allow the research results to he applied by the west Eugene Wetlands Partnership to on~
<br /> ' : theWground wet prairie~restoratian and'enhandement projects in the coning years. This should result in rnueh
<br />unproved fang-terrn function and quality of these projects, with reduced rrlaintenance costs.
<br />Db~ective 3: improve the quality of wetland resto~at~~n projects undertaken by the west Eugene wetland
<br />partnership and Nlitigatiou Banl~ and disseminate lnf~rmation.
<br />This key objective is nc~t funded under this grant proposal, but is critical for the standpoint. of ~tili~ing the results of
<br />this research to improve the Ion~tern~ quality and function ofwet prairie restoration e~'forts bath within the west
