Watershed Restoration Institute 2004

Watershed Restoration Institute 2004 will be held on Sept. 12-17 in Bainbridge Island, WA. The Institute is a five-day program designed to equip local watershed leaders with the skills, tools and confidence to assess, design and implement effective restoration programs in their home watersheds. The agenda is packed with information on urban watershed assessment techniques, stormwater retrofit inventories, stream rehabilitation, riparian reforestation, land reclamation, pollution prevention, watershed stewardship campaigns, and identification and correction of illicit discharges. Offered by the Center for Watershed Protection in partnership with Derek Booth, Director of the Center for Water and Watershed Studies at the University of Washington, and River Network, the Institute offers an intensive, interactive learning experience within a committed community of watershed leaders, with hands-on training both in the field and in the classroom. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available.  For more details, programs, and registration information, visit the Center for Watershed Protection website at http://www.cwp.org.
