A recent reminder from Michael Pollock about the upcoming open house.

For those of you who can make it, a great opportunity to getup-to-speed on our Watershed Program research. There is a WebEx option for those who cannot attend it person. It does fill up fast (in 3 days last time) so register soon if interested.

The Watershed Program focuses on two primary research areas: Ecosystem Processes and Restoration. Our Ecosystem Processes research focuses on understanding cause-effect linkages between landscape processes, habitats, and biota, with an emphasis on priority issues for NOAA regulatory staff. Our Restoration research primarily focuses on improving restoration practices to help accelerate recovery of Pacific salmon and steelhead listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

Our research is designed to assist with recovery planning for Pacific salmon and steelhead listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

Apparently there are a few government agencies still trying to do science. Who knew? Although it does say you need a state issued ID to attend and if you’re not a citizen you should reapply to a special department. Hmm…

Michael Pollock will be presenting on the Scotts River restoration efforts so you know the topic of beavers will be coming up. The agenda for the entire event is available here and you can attend via web by following these directions.
