EcoStream – Stream Ecology and Restoration Conference is NC State University Stream Restoration Program’s biennial southeast stream restoration conference. The conference will be held Aug. 22-25, 2016 in Asheville, North Carolina.

With preserving, enhancing, and restoring the entire riparian ecosystem in mind, EcoStream is the primary conference that focuses on stream restoration for the southeast region. This well-attended event facilitates discussions among restoration practitioners, managers and scientists towards advancing ecological restoration to better achieve functional inter-connectedness of wetlands, streams, hydrology, riparian corridors and the biologic communities they support.

EcoStream is a valuable forum for exchanging ideas and experiences that encourages continuing research and enhances networking among restoration professionals. We invite the academic and professional community to join us for EcoStream 2016: Ridgeline to Thalweg. Through presentations, panel conversations, exhibits and networking among peers and colleagues, the 2016 EcoStream conference will continue to influence the future of stream restoration in the Southeast.
