Stream restoration projects are reshaping waterways across the country — but are they always the right solution? This expert panel brings together professionals with deep, diverse experience in stream reconstruction to examine the practice from every angle: the science, the outcomes, the economics, and the community impact.
Join us for a frank, evidence-based conversation that goes beyond advocacy to ask the harder questions: When does stream restoration work — and when does it fall short? What alternatives exist? Who bears the cost, and who benefits? Topics explored by panelists may include, alternative approaches, how effectiveness is measured, long term ecological implications, potential guardrails, improvements, and more. Whether you’re a land manager, environmental professional, policymaker, or a curious community member, this is a rare opportunity to hear nuanced, expert perspectives on a topic that affects our local waterways and landscapes.
