Understanding Potential Risks, Uncertainties and Benefits of Low Tech Process Based Restoration

BCWF is excited to have Dr. Stephen Bennett join us to share insights from over a decade of experience in low-tech process-based restoration (LTPBR) in the United States. Dr. Bennett is a fish and wildlife biologist, adjunct professor with Utah State University in the Watershed Sciences Department, and co-founder of Anabranch Solutions, which specializes in the planning, implementation and monitoring of LTPBR projects. Dr. Bennett will discuss successes and challenges faced with LTPBR projects, and cover topics ranging from adaptive management strategies and the lifespan of restoration structures to fish considerations and navigating permitting processes across various jurisdictions.
