New topics or updates discussing case studies, lessons learned, research presentations (please make sure you translate your findings to land managers), practical applications, or riparian restoration-related projects are encouraged. Abstracts that specifically address the topic areas listed below will be given special consideration:
· Restoration resources and challenges (e.g. post-fire resources in tamarisk and Russian olive, working with challenging soils)
· Adaptation (e.g. responses to changing climate and ecosystems)
· Revegetation techniques (e.g. cottonwood and willow survival, strategies for successful reseeding of native grasses)
· Riparian grazing management (e.g. best practices and challenges with grazing in riparian areas)
· Russian olive management and other invasives
· Technology (e.g. databases, mapping, using drones)
· Private lands (e.g. fee for service, engagement)
· Community (e.g. stewardship, urban restoration, diversifying volunteer groups, changing volunteer patterns, citizen science projects and engagement strategies)
· Biocontrol
· Permitting (e.g. endangered species, status updates)
· Restoring for wildlife (e.g. tools to prioritize restoration for wildlife, long-term monitoring/evaluation efforts)
· Funding (e.g. capacity building, new funding initiatives, donor development)
· Partnerships (e.g. addressing staff turnover, defining goals, creating project synergy between state/local agencies and federal agencies)
· River and stream aspects (e.g. flow regime, channel dynamics, native and invasive vegetation, geomorphology, sedimentation and water quality)
