TU and SRF Large Wood Field School
Fall 2021
SRF and Trout Unlimited will be producing a Large Wood Field School on the Mendocino Coast this November. This two-day field school will train forestry and restoration professionals in both engineered and non-engineered large wood augmentation techniques that have been proven effective in restoring stream habitats on the Northern California coast. Participants will learn how to effectively design and implement large wood restoration projects by learning how to identify geomorphic conditions of a treatment stream and select appropriate implementation methods to achieve desired results. SRF will be announcing the dates and detailed agenda shortly. The curriculum will be similar to the first large wood field school.
