It outlines four primary goals: protecting public and private infrastructure and agricultural lands, improving floodplain connectivity and restoring habitats, reducing flood hazards, and maintaining recreational opportunities. The strategy involves a combination of land conservation, small-scale large woody debris projects, engineered log jams, bank armoring, and specific interventions for Keys Road, aiming to achieve long-term environmental sustainability and protect local economic and community assets.
