DESCRIPTION: Stream restoration projects are reshaping waterways across the country — but are they always the right solution and completed using best practices? This expert panel brings together professionals with deep, diverse experience in stream reconstruction to examine the practice from every angle: the science, the outcomes, the economics, and the community impact. Join for a frank, evidence-based conversation that asks the hard questions: When does stream restoration work, and when does it fall short? What alternatives exist? Who bears the cost, and who benefits?
