On February 20th, Joe will deliver the Wildland Resources seminar. He will give a talk on 'Cheap and Cheerful Stream Restoration...Employing Rodents?', where he will focus on work he, Nick Bouwes, Michael Pollock, Chris Jordan, Steve Bennett and others have been pushing on restoring streams with low-cost, process-based restoration strategies for restoring streams. In particular, he will focus on their work in Bridge Creek where beaver have been the main agent of change and dynamism. |

Andrew Wilcox and his lab hosted Joe for their seminar series in October to give a talk on 'Cheap and Cheerful Stream Restoration and Monitoring'. Special thanks to Andrew and his lab (particularly Sharon Bywater-Reyes) for making it such an enjoyable trip and showing off some of the local field sites on the Clarks Fork and Bitterroot Rivers.

We still have a few spots left in our ' Partnering with Beaver in Restoration Design' workshop, which runs in Logan from October 22-24. USU graduate students can take it for 1 credit (Fall semester CRN 44127), while professionals can receive continuing education credit. The instruction team includes Joe Wheaton, Nick Bouwes, Chris Jordan and John Stella with contributions from Mary O'Brien, Nate Houghsnee, Wally MacFarlane, Ryan Lokteff, and Florie Consolati. See here for information on how to register. Current registered participants include folks from non-profits (e.g. Bonneville Environmental Foundation, Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership, Colorado Watershed Assembly), tribes (e.g. Coeur d'Alene Tribe, Klamath Tribes), federal agencies (e.g. USFS), state agencies (e.g. Utah DWR), consulting firms and USU. |
