John, David Derrick, the IECA and Shasta College have been working on presenting this for a long time, and now we confirmed that all is a go.  And we couldn’t be more excited about it.  Here’s the deal…

If you are passionate about Stream Restoration than you do NOT want to miss this!

• 3-days of classroom and in-field instruction at the Shasta College Campus

• 2 experienced  instructors will provide valuable instruction backed by years of practical experience.  Your instructors for this event will be the Stream Dream Team of  John McCullah (read about him here) and David Derrick (read about him here).

• Learn to “Read a Stream” from David Derrick, Vicksburg MS.  David travels 230+ days a year visiting streams, teaching, designing, and implementing projects!!

• Learn the MOST Environmentally-Sensitive Streambank Stabilization and Biotechnical Techniques from John McCullah.  These are the newest techniques out there.  We’re not going to cover the old stuff.

• How are redirective techniques (rock vanes and bendway weirs) different from resistive techniques? See it for yourself and learn from experience.

• Tour  and study TWO remarkable Salmonid stream restoration projects – Sulphur Creek and Clear Creek with the experts  (learn more about Sulphur Creek here)

  • Discuss with the experts and plan the real-life restoration of this incised, highly channelized, collapsing Streambank.
  • Come back next year for the hands on execution of that plan
