2007 Symposium Call for Abstracts
River Restoration Northwest is now accepting oral presentation and poster abstracts for the upcoming Sixth Annual International Stream Restoration Design Symposium to be held at Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, Washington, USA February 6th through 8th, 2007.
This conference focuses on stream restoration questions of concern to project planners, designers, engineers, biologists, regulators, land managers or owners, and community stewards. The intent of the Symposium is to focus on a multi-disciplinary approach to stream restoration, hence a broad range of speakers and topics are encouraged.

submissions07@rrnw.org
Author, title, affiliation, contact information and topic category should be included at the top of the abstract (please use the abstract submittal form included on the following page). Please use Microsoft Word format, and use “last name_first name.doc” as the file name. Do not submit abstracts as text in an email, as they will not be considered.
