Stream Restoration Success: Monitoring for Project Performance and Mgmt.

Fri, Jul 7th 2006, 8:30am - 4:00pm
Habitat enhancement and management are increasingly important in stream conservation and restoration
efforts throughout California. Over the last three decades, many miles of streams have been restored in north
coast watersheds. This one-day workshop will capitalize upon lessons learned through that effort.
Participants will become familiar with options for monitoring site change and receive qualitative and quantitative feedback on project success. Speakers will share results from their monitoring of restoration projects that build and advance our overall understanding of stream restoration and habitat management.

Confirmed speakers and topics include:
Barry Collins (CDFG) – Multiple Needs for Science-Based Restoration Monitoring
Matt Kondolf and Shannah Anderson (UC Berkeley) – National River Restoration Synthesis Study
Tom Leroy (Pacific Watersheds Associates) – Effectiveness Monitoring of Road Decommissioning Projects
Thomas Gardali (PRBO) – Abundance Patterns of Landbirds in Restored and Remnant Riparian Forests
Michael Lennox (UC Coop. Ext.) – Correlating Habitat Trajectories to Revegetation Method
Randall Jackson (UW Madison) – Assessing Plant Community Development
Kenneth Tate (UC Davis) – Managing Sensitive Riparian Habitat Over Decades
Kathleen Morgan (Gualala River Watershed Council) – Cooperatively Monitoring Project Performance
