Dr. Pyle's description of his presentation: If we could experience a river as the heron does -- feel it with our legs, pierce it with our eyes, enter it with our bill, scan it from above around each curve and oxbow -- we might know what the river needs. We have different tools. Yet by stepping out of our own senses and vocabularies, into the person of the heron -- and the ouzel, the otter, the caddis and the wapato -- we can better imagine how our visions, skills, and toolboxes might serve the greater purposes of river and societies. This is an invitation to see and experience your workplace as you may never have done before, and to a fresh understanding of the extraordinary importance of this work.
