1. Introduction

Thank you for talking with us about the possibility of including your restoration project in our study of the economic contributions of restoration. I appreciate your time and understand that you are unable to participate. We would be grateful if you could take a moment to complete this short survey to help us learn a little more about your restoration project. This survey should only take about 5 minutes to complete. You can pause at any time; simply close the window and your answers will be saved. To resume and complete the survey, you will need to click on the link to the survey in the email you received. At that point, you can answer any remaining questions and/or edit any of your previous responses. At the end of the survey, click on the “Submit” button to finish the survey.
