(LTPBR) can be a highly effective low-cost strategy to restore riverscape health at the scale needed to address problems the SW faces with increasing drought\, wildfires\, and sedimentation of our streams and water infrastructure.  \nParticipants will have a better understanding of the challenges of planning and implementing LTPBR and how to address those challenges.\nProvide the opportunity for networking and dialogue between land and water management agencies and organizations to help generate collaborative efforts to restore streams in the SW Basin.\nConnect agencies and organizations that are interested in cross-collaboration on fuels reduction and stream/wetlands restoration – watershed scale projects that do both.\n\n [divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”Small Line”

8:30 – Workshop check-in. Please arrive before 8:30 am! \n\n8:30 – 8:45 – Introduction: workshop overview\, acknowledgement of sponsors and partners.\n\nSara Burch\, San Juan Citizens Alliance\, and Melissa May\, Mountain Studies Institute Executive Director\n\n\n8:45 – 9:15 – Overview of Southwestern CO Riverscapes – What have we lost? What can we address with restoration?\n\nCatherine Ortega\, SW Wetlands Focus Committee Chair\, and Alan Kasprak\, Assistant Professor of Geosciences Fort Lewis College.\nThis section will address: 1) What are the processes\, functions\, and ecosystem services of a riverscape? The history of the major disturbances that have led to degraded waterways in SW basins (e.g.\, beaver eradication\, grazing\, development\, water delivery infrastructure); 2) An overview of process-based restoration principles and approaches that are relevant to addressing these issues. Participants will gain an understanding of the compounding issues that have led to the loss of riverscape function\, and why those functions are critical to restore.\n\n\n9:15 – 9:45 – State of the Science – A summary of research on the ecosystem services effects of successful LTPBR projects.\n\nJackie Corday\, Corday Natural Resources Consulting\nThis section will review the highlights of a comprehensive report that synthesizes the published and unpublished case studies of the effects of restoring streams with low-tech PBR and beaver-related restoration\, including the benefits observed to surface and groundwater\, water quality\, improved resilience to climate impacts\, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat. With 1000s of miles of streams that require restoration efforts\, low-cost scalable methods are needed. The research indicates that LTPBR is one of the most effective low-cost tools to restore stream health and improve critical ecosystem services.\n\n\n9:45 – 10:00 – Q/A session between speakers and participants.\n10:00 – 10:20 Break\n\n10:20 – 12:00 – Current Challenges for Riverscape Restoration in SW Basins. Discusses the barriers\, constraints\, what to consider for PBR project planning\, and how to collectively work through challenges. 20 minutes for each topic below to review some of the most significant challenges to LTPBR restoration work. \n\n10:20 – 10:40 – Water rights issues – Information on what typical concerns may be and how to address them in addition to review of SB270.\n\nJackie Corday\, Corday Natural Resources Consulting\n\n\n10:40 – 11:00 – USACE Permitting Process – How to navigate the permitting process for different land management agencies & ownership.\n\n Kara Hellige\, Chief\, Southern Colorado Branch of USACE\n\n\n11:00 – 11:20 – Social Issues with Beaver – most LTPBR projects will have the goal of restoring streams in historic beaver habitat with the intent of assisting beaver recolonization for long-term maintenance of stream health. Thus\, projects must take into account and plan for avoiding or addressing potential conflicts (e.g. preventing culverts from being plugged and roads flooded).\n\nNichole Fox\, Give a Dam Executive Director\n\n\n11:20 – 11:40 – Capacity Funding for Planning & Implementing Projects – an overview of some of the best opportunities for state and federal funding. A couple grants are now available to address “lack of capacity” to plan for projects and several sources are available for implementing projects.\n\nAlex Funk\, Director of Water Resources and Senior Counsel at Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.\n\n\n11:40 – 12:00 – Q/A session between speakers and participants.\n\n12:00 – 1:00 Lunch Break.
