2014 Tamarisk Coalition's Research and Management Conference, Feb. 18-20

Riparian Restoration in the Western US

Tamarisk Coalition will be teaming up with The Water Center at Colorado Mesa University to host two days of interactive sessions, presentations, and panels highlighting recent advancements and emerging issues in riparian invasive plant management and restoration on Feb. 18 & 19, 2014.  There will also be an additional half day of field trips and/or workshops held on Feb. 20, 2014. The conference will be held at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, CO.

In the past, Tamarisk Coalition's conferences have alternated years between presentations with an academic focus and those with an on-the-ground emphasis. This year, we are combining the best of both worlds to bring you a mixture of both research and management.  

This is a great opportunity for land and resource managers, private land owners, researchers, students, and others to convene in a collaborative venue to learn about and discuss the latest trends in riparian restoration and ecology.  

Attendees will also qualify for 16 Continuing Education Units with the Society of Range Management.  Contact Cara at Ckukuraitis@tamariskcoalition.org for more details.
