Wild Rice Monitoring Handbook

By Tonya Kjerland

To assess trends in wild rice abundance and distribution around the Lake Superior basin, it is important to be consistent in the way data is collected. The information within the Wild Rice Monitoring Field Guide and Handbook provides resource managers with the methods and rationale to estimate a water body's annual wild rice biomass, density, and productivity.

The methods described in the Wild Rice Monitoring Field Guide and Handbook have been designed to respect Native American, First Nation, and like-minded peoples' views on the sacred nature of wild rice.

The Wild Rice Monitoring Field Guide and Handbook are also available for PDF download.
