主题演讲
RIVER RESTORATION: CONNECTING RESEARCH AND COMMUNITY
Guest speaker, 黎加富尔顿, Restoration Coordinator, RiversEdge West
Collaborator, Cara Kukuraitis, Outreach Coordinator, RiversEdge West
黎加富尔顿, a restoration specialist, discusses the importance of research as it relates to healthy riparian areas and communities. Invasive riparian species, 比如红柳, outcompete native species over thousands of acres along rivers in the West, leading to degraded riparian ecosystems. Restoring riverside habitat to increase biodiversity and resiliency takes research, 协作, 筹款, and community involvement. Her organization and hundreds of partners are committed to restoring rivers by connecting researchers and practitioners, 教育公众, and implementing on-the-ground restoration.
