These workshops are intended for students, resource managers, restoration practitioners, researchers and others interested in the use of beaver for restoring rivers and/or streams. Participants  will come away with:

1. An appreciation of beaver ecology and the complex feedbacks between beaver activity, hydrogeomorphic responses, riparian vegetation and fish ecology; 
2. Knowledge of past and ongoing restoration projects using beaver;
3. A working understanding of considerations in restoration designs using beaver; and
4. How to manage public expectations regarding potential restoration responses involving beaver.

Additionally, participants of the 2 & 3-day workshop will come away with an introduction of how to develop dynamic designs utilizing beaver.
  
The workshops always include field trips to active beaver colonies, hands-on design exercises, and some interactive lectures and discussions.
