10th Annual Upper Colorado River Basin (virtual) Water Forum:

Coming to Terms with Limits and Uncertainty

 

An On-Line Gathering 

Highlights:

Join us on Monday, February 24^th at Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins to kick off the 2020 season of the Colorado Stream Restoration Network (CSRN). Brought to you by CRA and the City of Longmont, CSRN is a series of free workshops on riparian topics of interest to (and presented by) our Colorado riparian/stream community. CSRN is in its 7th year, born of Colorado’s 2013 Front Range flood as a means of sharing information and messaging to help guide flood recovery efforts towards more river- and riparian-friendly solutions.

The West of the future will be warmer and more populous, and as a result, will face significant challenges with respect to our water supplies, our ability to withstand unpredictable weather patterns and extreme storm events, and our capacity to preserve our economy and our quality of life while adapting to the coming changes. The climate is changing, but we can do something about it.  

 

 

The conference program includes courses, workshops, and presentation topics on Resiliency, Sustainability, Green Infrastructure and Low Impact Development; Wetlands and Coastal Restoration; Watershed Protection and Total Maximum Daily Loads;  Municipal, Construction and Industrial Stormwater Management; Best Management Practices Case Studies; Advanced Research topics and Innovative Technologies; Public and Private Partnerships; and, the Outstanding GI/LID Project Competition, among others.

 

Soil health is critical to the future of agricultural production on the Western Slope of Colorado. With a contingent of farmers as well as community groups and government officials the Western Slope has been able to take soil health education and implementation techniques and specifically adjust them for the local area. As pressure on agricultural production increases, soil health practices can insure that agricultural needs are met with sustainable production, quality and economic viability.

 

The Québec RE3 Conference, a joint conference between the Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA), the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) and the Society of Wetland Scientists (SWS), will be held in Québec City from June 7-11, 2020, at the dawn of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030).
