SERCAL hosted a two-day webinar — presented by three experts in riparian restoration — created for non-engineers and students wanting a better understanding of streambank and floodplain ecology.
Over the course of a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, Brendan Belby, Jeff Peters, and Kevin MacKay (bios here) presented case studies and led discussions to emphasize the importance of channel cross-section and landform geometry as they influence a stream's connectivity with its floodplain.
Participants will learn how to evaluate channel conditions and assess restoration potential and select the appropriate restoration technique for reducing erosion and restoring ecological functions.
