River Management Symposium – “Branching Out From the Mainestream”
For its 9th biennial symposium, the River Management Society (RMS) is exploring new territory—the rivers and streams of New England.
This is their first national symposium in the Northeast, and as the symposium title implies, we're also branching out from the formats and topics of past gatherings. This meeting of river experts will be more intimate and interactive, offering new ideas and ways of learning. However, many favorite elements from the past will remain, including field trips to local rivers and estuaries for onsite examples of management successes and challenges. More information at www.river-management.org
WHEN: May 12-15, 2008
WHERE: Portland, ME
COST: Around $350 for registration
