Southeastern
Regional Conference
on Stream Restoration
North
Carolina Stream Restoration Institute,
in conjunction with our Co-Sponsors, is hosting the first Southeastern
Regional Conference on Stream Restoration in Winston- Salem,
North Carolina on June 21-24, 2004. This conference will showcase
stream and wetland restoration efforts from Maryland to Florida.
Professionals from the southeastern US and beyond will have
an opportunity to present and discuss topics related to the
field of restoration. Research and results will be the primary
focus of this four-day event, including topics such as sediment
transport, in-stream structures, and monitoring and evaluation.
Habitat issues, ecosystem assessments, mitigation, funding sources
as well as other topics associated with restoration will also
be highlighted. Case studies of projects that are complete and
have been monitored for at least one year will also be featured.
The conference strives to move "Beyond Construction"
in our discussions about restoration and to learn from the variety
of research and restoration efforts being conducted throughout
the Southeast. Anyone interested or currently involved in the
fields of stream, wetland, riparian buffer, and habitat restoration
are encouraged to attend and share your experiences so we can
all learn and improve!
