Stream Restoration Concepts
Introduction and Advanced Workshops
May 2008
Waynesville Recreation Center
About the Workshops
These workshops will address local challenges and present natural channel design solutions to stream impairments including excessive sedimentation, over-widening, incised banks, decreased fish and wildlife habitat, and unsafe public access. Both levels will address elements of natural stream channel design, design innovations, implementation techniques, and riparian plantings. In addition, participants will tour the Richland Creek Stream Restoration project under construction and observe techniques being installed.
Stream Restoration Concepts Introduction Workshop is specific to developers, land owners, and natural resource managers who can benefit from learning about watershed and stream restoration concepts. This workshop will be held on May 30, 2008.
Stream Restoration Concepts Advanced Workshop will be tailored to design professionals that will explore stream restoration specific to the mountains and related design considerations and implications, particularly focusing on the thermal impacts to trout waters and innovation in-stream structures. This level will also offer continuing education credit to planners, landscape architects, engineers, and foresters. This workshop will be held on May 28, 2008.
