VERNAL POOLS
In 2007CAWS and has continuously run a Vernal Pool Monitoring Program across the State of Connecticut. More than 50 vernal pools, located in 15 towns (four counties) in the state have been monitored. More than 320 vernal pool monitoring inspections took place under the program. Some pools were monitored for only several years, while others have been monitored annually since the beginning of the program. In 2020 an Interim Report of the the Vernal Pool Monitoring Program was prepared summarizing some of the findings to date as well as data trends.
VEGETATED BUFFERS
CAWS drafted a white paper which focuses on defining vegetative buffers, reviewing buffer functions and introducing design criteria as they relate to protecting or enhancing water quality. The paper is titled "Vegetative Buffers for Water Quality Protection: An Introduction and Guidance Document, Draft Version 1.0".
This paper was originallypresented by Bob Jontos during the 2004 Annual Meeting and is being made available to everyone in the hope that many people will provide comments thereby creating a true collaborative of the scientific community. The paper will be available for download until the end of May at which time comments will be incorporated. A final draft is expected to be posted sometime in the fall of 2004. If you wish to provide comments, additional citations or other revisions, please highlight ALL your changes and email the document to whitepaper@ctwetlands.org.
WETLAND INVENTORY FORM
CAWS is developing a Wetland Summary and Activity form to provide wetland scientists with universal set of criteria to be collected in the field. The collection of identical data by all scientists allows for the future comparison of data. Click here to download a copy of the spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel). This form is a work in progress so if you have suggestions on additional data that should be collected or a better way to record the data please send us an email at wetlands@ctwetlands.org.
