2022 SRF Conference in Santa Cruz
Open Call for Proposals due Sept 15
SRF earnestly hopes to be able to produce the long-awaited conference in Santa Cruz, CA in spring 2022. The tentative dates are April 19-22, 2022. The conference will feature field tours, workshops, and concurrent sessions. Due to uncertainty with COVID-19, SRF prefers to receive session and workshop proposals that could also be offered in an online format since it is possible that we will have to produce a virtual conference.
SRF has extended the Call for Proposals until September 15. Please indicate if you would still be interested in chairing the session or workshop if we go virtual. Please email abstracts@calsalmon.org to submit a brief proposal for a workshop, session, or field tour by September 15. The First Call for Abstracts will be posted in early October.
23rd Annual Coho Confab Presentations
The 23rd Annual Coho Confab was held on the Navarro River and focused on flow enhancement planning to improve habitat conditions for coho and water supply reliability for landowners. If you missed it, or want to refer back to the presentations, the slides are available to review.
TU and SRF Large Wood Field School
November 10-12, 2021
SRF and Trout Unlimited will be producing a Large Wood Field School on the Mendocino Coast this November. This two-day field school will train forestry and restoration professionals in both engineered and non-engineered large wood augmentation techniques that have been proven effective in restoring stream habitats on the Northern California coast. Participants will learn how to effectively design and implement large wood restoration projects by learning how to identify geomorphic conditions of a treatment stream and select appropriate implementation methods to achieve desired results. View the agenda and register on the SRF website.
Collaborative Water Managment Guidebook
The Nature Conservancy, Salmonid Restoration Federation, and Alford Environmental have produced a Collaborative Water Management Guide to Enhancing Streamflow and Water Supply Reliability in California’s Rural Watersheds and Communities.
