Watershed Management Group: Technical Training in Stream Restoration, October 6-8, 2011 – Tucson AZ

October 6, 2011 - October 8, 2011

Join Watershed Management Group (WMG) for a 3-day, hands-on course in Stream Restoration through the Watershed Technical Training program.  This course will provide participants with a basic understanding of how desert streams and arroyos function, how they change over time, and the human influence on them, both positive and negative.  Based on this foundation, students will then participate in hands-on sessions in site assessment, design, and implementation of small-scale restoration features.  Emphasis will be placed on urban wash restoration approaches and practices from backyard to larger drainage scales.

The course curriculum includes:

  • Classroom lectures
  • Site assessment, surveying, design, and planning sessions
  • Hands-on restoration workshops
  • Tour of local restoration sites

Apply early for the reduced registration fee by August 1, 2011 — application deadline for the regular registration fee is September 1, 2011.  To view the full course announcement and download an application, visit WMG Watershed Technical Training webpage.  For more information, please contact Tory Syracuse at tsyracuse@watershedmg.org or 520-396-3266.
