SRF is partnering with Pacific Watershed Associates to offer an Erosion and Sediment Control Field School November 11 - 13, 2025 in San Luis Obispo County. This technical field course is a part of our Central Coast BMP Education Series and is funded by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Fisheries Restoration Grant Program. The agenda is designed to assist planners, regulators, environmental scientists, engineers, and landowners to improve environmental protection by identifying, assessing, and ultimately designing erosion control projects.

A field tour component is included and will complement classroom topics, including a review of techniques to identify, characterize and treat road related sediment sources which can be used to create prioritized action plans for wildland road systems.

Register for the field school and learn more here.

SRF would like to specially thank all partners, tour coordinators, volunteers, food donors, and participants who joined us at the 27th Annual Coho Confab at the beautiful Sandy Bar Ranch on the Klamath River.
