2023 Conference Mentorship Program
Sign up as as Mentor or Mentee!
To welcome first-time attendees, students, young professionals, and people from historically underrepresented groups, SRF is evolving our mentorship program. Each Mentee will be matched with one Mentor. Through a series of brief one-on-one meetings before, during, and after the annual conference, Mentors will help Mentees make good use of their time at the conference, provide networking opportunities, share career advice, and perhaps even build lasting connections. This event is only for conference attendees. Visit our website to learn more and sign up!
Featured Tour - Habitat Restoration Projects in the Lower Mattole River
This tour focuses on the lower Mattole River and estuary to view and discuss past, present and future projects to improve conditions for salmonids. Learn more here.
Featured Workshop - California Lamprey Considerations for People Restoring Streams Workshop and Field Tour
Most of the restoration and conservation activities that occur in Pacific coastal streams are intended to promote salmonid recovery but could also benefit native lampreys. The workshop will include a morning classroom session and an afternoon field tour. The classroom session will include presentations covering lamprey biology and systematics, cultural and ecological importance, and differences in life history and habitat requirements from salmonids. Learn more here.
