Coho Confab 2000
Cooperative Restoration and Vibrant Watersheds

by Anne Seaquist
July 17, 2000


Mark your calendars!! Coho Confab 2000 is almost here!!

Join Trees Foundation for the 3rd Annual Coho Confab, August 18-20, 2000, at the Nadelos BLM Campground in the Upper Mattole. Cooperative Restoration and Vibrant Watersheds is this year?s theme, as we gather to learn about more than 25 years of local restoration efforts in the upper Mattole watershed, share our personal experiences and perspectives, participate in effective hands-on restoration work and HAVE FUN!!

Workshops include:
  • Willow Wall construction

  • Fish Identification in the Mattole River

  • Guided Hikes in the Sanctuary Forest

  • Log-Weir Construction

  • Guided Tours of Watershed Restoration sites

There will be a panel presentation of community restoration projects, including funding sources, SB 271 information, and criteria for site choice and feasibility. Landowners are strongly encouraged to attend and explore the potential for restoration on their lands.

The ?Fishnet? is available, a database of past Confab attendees interested in networking and participating on restoration projects. If you have been included in this list and have address or e-mail changes, please notify Trees to update the list. Thanks!!

Call the Trees Foundation @ 923-4377 for more information or to register for the Confab.
