Abstract:
Stream*A*Syst stands for Streamside Assessment System. It is a set of materials for landowners who want to learn more about managing their streamside areas. You can go through these materials on your own to determine whether there are factors related to your stream that could be improved by better management practices. There are two main parts:
• The Stream*A*Syst Worksheet—a set of yes-no questions to be answered while observing your stream
• The Stream*A*Syst Action Plan—a chart to help you decide what to do once you find a potential concern
