Information and Resource Sharing – the task force conducts this activity through web-based information and the email list serve. Communication and Collaboration Building – the task force promotes inter-watershed and county-wide communication and information sharing on wetland and watershed initiatives. Local Policy Support - the task force works to support legislation important to Los Angeles County wetlands and watersheds. Training and Education – task force education and training initiatives focus on technical training, workshops and site visits/field experiences with direct links to restoration and wetland project implementation. Task Force participation in the WRP Symposium and other wetlands related conferences is another task force priority. |
