2023 Workshop Series

We're hitting the road!

In 2023, RiversEdge West will be hosting in-person workshops at three locations across the Southwest that address the needs of a specific region. At each stop, we'll connect the people managing riparian lands with the techniques, scientific findings, and lessons learned that are vital to ensuring that restoration is successful.

These focused and place-based workshops will provide a venue for education, collaboration, and training. Click below to learn more and join us!

Testimonials

RiversEdge West puts together a topnotch conference that attracts a wide range of relevant restoration presenters who are doing important work. Having the opportunity to not only hear from the experts but to actually interact with them between sessions is invaluable. If you are involved in riparian restoration in any capacity you need to clear your calendar to make room to attend this conference!

The Riparian Restoration Conference is one of the most informative and useful conferences I have ever attended in my career in that it brings together scientists, resource managers, and practitioners with ample opportunity to share and discuss information, goals, and methods across a broad range of relevant topics.

It is just inspirational and invigorating being around so many people doing similar work.  It was especially helpful meeting people who work in similar organizations but in different places.

[The Conference] provides a broad range of information and new research that is applicable to a variety of audiences including private landowners.

Getting a big picture view is critical when working in a small community.  These contacts will provide a wealth of information and inspiration!

I am walking away with a sense of how to foster collaboration at a watershed scale.

The attendees and presentations at the Riparian Restoration Conference provided thought-provoking new ways of thinking about things.

This was my first conference in the area and the variety of attendees was fantastic; representatives from commercial companies, non-profits, cooperatives, academics, and state/federal agencies were all present.

It is easy to get down these days in our field.  I realized a lot of exciting things that were going on and that I need to push a bit harder.

My experience with the Riparian Restoration conference by far exceeded my expectations; the quality and depth of the science, the passion of the speakers and the location of the conference were all top-notch. I brought home many slices of information that I can immediately utilize in my workday and feel confident in the vetting process that proceeded it.

I live in a rural town where it is difficult to convene with so many experts/practitioners/scientists/agency representatives.  The simple opportunity to meet and talk with people was hugely beneficial.
