SRF Conference F.A.Q.s
Featured SRF Conference Workshop: California Environmental Flows Framework
This workshop will provide an overview of the California Environmental Flows Framework (CEFF), introduce technical tools that were developed to support CEFF implementation, and highlight case study applications that are completed or underway. The workshop will include presentations and interactive elements and will be oriented towards practitioners working to assess and protect environmental flows in California’s rivers and streams. Learn more about the CEFF and the workshop here.
Featured SRF Conference Tour: 18 Years of Management to Improve Salmonid Habitat
The day will start with presentations providing a project overview and data methods and analyses. The field tour will head to the San Gregorio watershed and the El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve. Participants will hike the roads, trails, and bridges that Midpen rebuilt to reduce sedimentation, enter the mainstem of El Corte de Madera Creek, and learn about stream gaging, sediment sampling, and the basic techniques of V* field data gathering that were used.
Topics will include discussions of logging legacy, large-wood jams, sediment rating curves, and natural vs. human-influenced sediment sources. Learn more here.
