The National Conference on Ecosystem Restoration
August 1-5, 2011
Baltimore, MD
The National Conference on Ecosystem Restoration is an interdisciplinary conference on large-scale ecosystem restoration presenting state-of-the art science and engineering, planning and policy in a partnership environment.
Scientists, engineers, managers, and policy makers who are actively involved in and/or affected by all aspects of ecosystem restoration should attend. This includes federal, state, and local agency personnel, tribal governments, water resource engineers, water resource managers, environmental consultants, environmental policy managers, ecological scientists and researchers, hydrological modelers, students, and environmental interest groups.
The conference typically entails five days of presentations in six program tracks, multiple workshops, poster sessions, field trips and coffee-house discussions dedicated to both small and large scale ecosystem restoration programs including but not limited to the Missouri and Mississippi River Basins, the Louisiana Coastal Area, Columbia River, the Everglades, the San Francisco Bay/Delta, the Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes and Puget Sound, just to name a few.
This conference explores the roles of policy, planning and science in establishing goals and performance expectations for achieving successful and sustainable ecosystem restoration. We will also look at the importance of considering ecosystem services in restoration cost-benefit discussions. Successful partnerships and means to leverage resources are important themes that run through this conference.
