The Monitoring Tool Box, along with its companion video, Close to the Ground, is for farmers and other land managers interested in learning easy-to-use techniques for monitoring the impact of management decisions on their land, finances and family. The Tool Box assumes you care about your landscape-the natural resources and the people on it. It is meant as a springboard for monitoring a farm field, a suburban garden, personal goals, and anything else having to do with the land and the people on it. This monitoring package includes a copy of the video, Close to the Ground, a 24-minute Blue Moon production that describes the workings of the Monitoring Project, a joint venture of the Land Stewardship Project and the Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture.
