Summary: Methods include surveys of community elders to understand how driftwood is harvested and how many logs were harvested historically and at present. Remote sensing techniques will be used to quantify the inventory of riverside trees, the rates of bank erosion and the inventory of logs on the riverbanks. Rates of log movements will be estimated using river hydrology data and mark-recapture approaches...

Summary: The project proposes to collect, organize, and present, in report form, traditional environmental knowledge in the Gwich'in Settlement Area (GSA). This information would give the Gwich'in and other resource managers a better "picture" of the region based on the perspective of the people who have lived there for generations. It also provides a basis for incorporating local environmental knowledge...
