Bioengineering Workshop and Elwha Tour

[Hank Stein]

Hey guys,

My name is Hank Stein and I am a student in the University of Montana SER student guild. I am the 2013 student member for the Society for Ecological Restoration NW this year. SERNW is offering a great workshop in Port Angeles about soil bioenineering and then a tour of the Elwha Restoration Site. It should be a great opportunity to learn all about a restoration practice and then see a large scale restoration project that uses some of the techniques, all in the NW. Below is all the details, hope to see y'all there!

*SOIL BIOENGINEERING WORKSHOP and Elwha Restoration Site tour*****

Mark your calendars for a *Soil Bioengineering Workshop to be held October 18-20 in Port Angeles, WA, with Dave Polster, SER-BC Board member*. Dave provides a very thorough review of techniques from his 35+ years of experience in vegetation studies, reclamation and invasive species management in a full day of classroom lecture. He has pioneered restoration methodologies that re-integrate natural succession processes to create productive, self-sustaining ecosystems, focusing on soil restoration. A field day of hands on techniques will be held on Sunday.

Board member Joshua Chenoweth, Restoration Botanist with Olympic National Park, *will lead a tour of Elwha restoration sites on Friday*, with the workshop held Saturday and Sunday, at the beautiful NatureBridge Conference Center in Port Angeles. Seehttp://www.naturebridge.org/conference-facilities-accommodations-olympicfor a view of the setting and beautiful cabins.

Cost of the workshop will be $175 plus $80/night for lodging (double occupancy). All meals are included in the lodging fees. Upgrades to historic and lakeside cabins are also available. You may view the options on our website here<http://chapter.ser.org/northwest/soil-bioengineering-workshop/>.

Thanks for the info Hank. PSU Group: This workshop is being run by Dave Polster, a restoration ecologist from Duncan, Vancouver Island, B.C. He is the most interesting and knowledgeable ecosystem engineer I've met. I'd recommend you attend if you want to learn and participate in hands-on ecological restoration on the Elwha Dam removal project.

-Cheers from Vancouver Canada,

Keith
