Two Day Intensive on Stream Habitat and Restoration at Sitka Center

Lindsay will be leading a two day stream lesson in the Nestucca River Watershed covering restoration and habitat complexity. Join us in September (unless you are attending the American Fisheries Society symposium which is unfortunately at the same time). We have tried to keep the cost low and there is an opportunity for scholarship. Hit the link for more information. Hope to see you there!

Description

The goal of this workshop is to expose participants to some of the uniquely beautiful streams and forests of the Northwest coast. The first day will be spent in old growth forests and the second in and around the streams. Both days will be spent in the field where you will learn how healthy streams and forests are meant function including the fundamentals of upland, riparian, and aquatic ecology. You will also learn how to identify common plants, animals, mushrooms, and insects that we encounter along the way.
