Demo sites
There are five demo sites that have current involvement from FORWARDS partners and they will all entail novel monitoring measurement techniques, testing current and new CSF & Restoration activities. They present a model case for citizen and stakeholder engagement. Grants-to-third-parties will be used to extend the demo sites into a Network of Pilot sites.
