This workshop spanned the breadth of topics with which anyone involved in urban stream restoration must stay current. Presentations at the workshop included the use of regional curves as a design tool, new funding opportunities and legislation affecting them, case studies in restoration, citizen involvement strategies, and a panel on how to resolve some of the common issues that confront practitioners in urban settings. The Urban Creek workshop culminated with a brief trolley tour the City of Santa Rosa Prince Memorial Greenway project and the Lower Colgan Creek restoration project.
