AbstractWe were pleased that Buckley and Crone (2008) highlight the importance of understanding societal impacts of restoration in their article entitled ñNegative Off-Site Impacts of Ecological Restoration: Understanding and Addressing the Conflict.î This is an important issue that deserves attention in the conservation science literature. We were disappointed, however, in their characterization of how these issues are being dealt with in the context of Sacramento River restoration efforts. Their article overlooks important steps that have been taken over the past two decades to deal with the concerns of agricultural landowners and local communities. They use the Sacramento River as an example of where unaddressed conflicts have shut down restoration efforts. Yet in reality, this is an area where cutting-edge science and stakeholder engagement practices have supported implementation of some of the most progressive river restoration projects ever undertaken. Although Sacramento River riparian restoration has faced some local opposition, the stakeholder engagement forums in the area have fostered a suite of multiple-benefit projects that simultaneously benefit society and the ecosystem.
