This 2014 Annual Report provides summaries of monitoring data collected during the 2014 calendar year for the Estancia Basin Watershed Health, Restoration and Monitoring Steering Committee (Steering Committee). Details about research questions and the background and administration of this monitoring project may be found in the Estancia Basin Watershed Health and Monitoring Project: Monitoring Plan Evaluation (2008 Monitoring Plan) (SWCA Environmental Consultants [SWCA] 2008), which is available at the New Mexico Forest and Watershed Restoration Institute (Restoration Institute) website (http://www.nmfwri.org/images/ stories/pdfs/Estancia_Basin_Monitoring/EstanciaBasinMonitoring.pdf). The 2008 Monitoring Plan provides detailed information on the background knowledge of forest thinning in the Southwest and presents the goals and methodologies for the Estancia Basin forest thinning monitoring project. The 2008 Annual Report (SWCA 2009) also provides important background information about the Trigo wildfire monitoring project that was initiated in 2008. Previous annual reports for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 summarize overall monitoring findings from those 6 years, and they also may be found at the Restoration Institute website.
