Part 13
IN THIS LESSON:
Inspiration for the way forward.
Closing out our three day journey we will feature key speakers to challenge and inspire our path forward. While the workshop is structured around six broad classes of barriers, constraints, and challenges, it does so in the context of many amazingly successful projects implemented by a dedicated community of practitioners backed by researchers, funders, land owners, and resource managers. Our workshop closing is meant to make you think, give you hope, make you curious, give you pride in your work, but most importantly, to make you want to see and do more process-based riverscape restoration.
