INTERAGENCY RIVER MANAGEMENT
WORKSHOP
Every other year, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Forest Service (FS),
National Park Service (NPS) and Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) take turns
hosting an Interagency River Management Workshop. The Forest Service hosted
the 2007 workshop in Missoula, MT and the 2009 workshop is being hosted by
the National Park Service.
These workshops are open to everyone (not just agency personnel) and are designed
to be interactive and address timely river management topics. They also provide
great networking, problem-solving and training opportunities for those involved
with rivers. The River Management Society is a proud co-sponsor of the Interagency
Workshops.
2009 Interagency River Management Workshop
Today's Rivers, Tomorrow's Stewards
March 10-12, 2009 ~ Yosemite National Park, CA ~Yosemite Lodge at
the Falls
WELCOME
Yosemite National Park is a place of ongoing transformation. But over the
millennia, the rivers have remained one constant in the park’s story
of change. Another constant has been the caring of people for this special
place—from its American Indian residents for over 6,000 years to champions,
like John Muir, of wild places.
In keeping with the spirit of this dynamic place and those stewards who have
come before, join river professionals from around the country for three days
of exploration and collaboration as we look at river management today, and
the future protection of our nation’s rivers tomorrow—Today’s
Rivers, Tomorrow’s Stewards.
REGISTRATION
A fee of $75 includes all workshop sessions, entrance into Yosemite National
Park, Wednesday field trip and lunch, Thursday night closing dinner with entertainment.
PURPOSE AND PROGRAM
The purpose of the 2009 Interagency River Management Workshop is to bring
together river professionals from around the country to discuss issues and
share successes and challenges. While this is an interagency workshop—with
federal, state, and local agencies invited to participate—non-governmental
organizations, academic institutions, and interested citizens are most welcome.
The goal is to create an interactive and invigorating professional growth
opportunity, within the backdrop of one of the nation’s most beloved
national parks.
There will be two days devoted to sessions and presentations, as well as a field trip day to explore Yosemite and discuss river issues with colleagues. Workshop offerings will include a mixture of presentations, hands-on learning, and networking opportunities. Some of our sessions may involve "speed presentations" where folks can get a flavor of a particular issue, and then follow-up with those of greatest interest. We will also be asking participants to come prepared to share something about their particular river, whether it's a success story, a case study, or a challenge in need of a solution. On the final day of the workshop, we will hold a Confluence Clinic where people may share ideas, ask questions, and get answers from colleagues.
Today’s Rivers, Tomorrow’s Stewards
will focus on four tracks:
I. Education and Interpretation
II. Wild and Scenic Training Opportunities
III. River Health and Restoration
IV. User Capacity and Visitor Use Management
