Advancing Process-Based Actions

NEW DATES: March 7, 8, 9, 2023
9:00am to 5:00pm PST
~ a virtual workshop event~

Examine institutional and social constraints to implementing these restoration approaches

Explore how to encourage robust, region-wide implementation and innovations to expand the practice

All super exciting stuff!

Sure enough, the workshop presenters include some Very Big Names in the #beaverrestoration field, including Joe Wheaton, Ellen Wohl, and two other people who haven’t sent their headshots in yet! 😹

I also noticed this at the bottom of the page: Thr lead sponsor is #NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region! Wouldn’t it be great if all of the NOAA regions would get on board with #beaver restoration!!!
