Monitoring
Perhaps the most important aspect of our philosophy and commitment is follow-through. CSR, Inc. is committed to follow-through in the form of monitoring and stewardship. There are many elements that can have an impact on the success of a restoration project including weather and site specific soil conditions. Fluctuations that deviate from normal weather patterns such as drought cycles can strongly influence project success. Monitoring quantifies varying degrees of project success and then provides a feedback loop to identify site specific conditions that contribute to anything shy of total success. From here, we can develop reactive options that rectify problems. Regardless of who is implementing stewardship, a stewardship program is essential for each project. We have the personnel and scientific expertise to offer long or short term stewardship programs that provide the necessary follow-through that is essential to guarantee successful project completion.

Monitoring is a service that CSR, Inc. provides and can be a vital element of a stewardship program. Monitoring can be as simple as occasional observations and as complicated as technical data collection, database entry, data analysis and periodic documentation through detailed reports. Monitoring details for each project depend on the needs of the client and the goals established in the project plan.
