The 22nd Annual Berkeley River Restoration Symposium

This year’s symposium features an update on the Eel River diversion to Potter Valley by Scott McBain (Applied River sciences), “The Potter Valley Project on the Upper Eel River: A collaborative Two-Basin Solution to dam removal, water supply, and river restoration for the Eel and Russian rivers”, followed by graduate student research spanning Doty Ravine in the Sierra foothills, San Francisquito Creek below Searsville Dam on the Peninsula, Sausal, Wildcat, and Baxter Creeks and gully-stuffing in Tilden Park in the East Bay. The symposium wraps up with an expert panel to discuss themes raised by the graduate student research projects, and general discussion.
