Online Resources


There are many organizations creating useful websites and posting resources online to help with and promote restoration, stewardship projects, and urban agriculture. I come across a lot of these in my work and volunteer projects. This is a list of great resources that I have found in my travels through the city, at workshops and community events. I link to the original resource. My notes link to blog posts I've written to review the resource or explain how I've used it.

Many of these resources are pdf files that have been posted online. Printed versions are usually available from these organizations at workshops and community events. When I'm at my desk, I usually read resources online. Sometimes, though, it is useful to have the print edition when working on a project that is outside or when sharing information with other people, but I always try to remember that print resources cost trees and funding to produce.
