Announcing a new restoration short course
ECOLOGICAL AND GEOMORPHIC PRINCIPLES OF STREAM RESTORATION
A five-day course, 25-29 July 2005, Cromwell Valley Park (Sherwood House),
Baltimore, MD
We are pleased to announce the availability of a one-week stream
restoration short course in the steamy east!. The course coordinators and
primary instructors are Margaret Palmer (stream ecologist, University of
Maryland), Peter Wilcock, (erosion & sedimentation, geomorphology, Johns
Hopkins University), and Sean Smith (geomorphology, stream restoration,
Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources). Our goal is to present the
foundations of stream ecology and geomorphology and their application to
stream restoration. Course information is given below. A course brochure
with additional information is available at www.palmerlab.umd.edu.
The course is coordinated with the courses sequence

ECOLOGICAL AND GEOMORPHIC PRINCIPLES OF STREAM RESTORATION
A five-day course, 25-29 July 2005, Cromwell Valley Park (Sherwood House),
Baltimore, MD
This introductory course presents the ecological and geomorphologic
foundations of stream restoration, emphasizing their application in
restoration practice. The course focuses on understanding and measurement
of ecological and geomorphic processes and their application within an
integrated approach to stream restoration. The course is designed for
engineers, geologists, biologists, planners, land managers, landscape
architects, government officials - anyone who deals with rivers and streams
and who can benefit from a more in-depth understanding of how they work.
The number of participants is limited to 27 to provide ample opportunities
for one-on-one instruction.
Primary Course Instructors and Coordinators: Margaret Palmer, Sean Smith,
and Peter Wilcock
Other Course Instructors and Contributors: G. Mathias Kondolf, Jack
Schmidt, M. Gordon Wolman.
Venue. Cromwell Valley Park is located in the scenic Maryland Piedmont
immediately outside of Baltimore ( http://www.bcpl.net/~cvpark/index.html
). The park centers on Minebank Run and includes pasture, cultivated
gardens, hedgerows, orchards and wooded hills. Classes will be held in
Sherwood House, an English manor style mansion built in 1935. A unique
feature of the park is that 7,000 ft of Minebank Run are in the process of
restoration. Extensive pre- and post-restoration monitoring is being
conducted by the USGS, EPA, and Baltimore County DEPRM, providing an
opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of the stream outside the
door.
Fee. $1,500 includes tuition, field trip transportation, lunch for five
days, dinner for one day, and course materials, including printed copies of
lecture notes, and a CD with pdf files of additional papers and
spreadsheets. Graduate credit from the University of Maryland is available
(2 credits; fee with credits is $2,286). Lodging at group rates will be
arranged at motels a few minutes from the course venue. Registration. Visit
www.summer.umd.edu/ws to access a printable summer term workshop
application/registration form. Or visit the Registrar Customer Service
Counter, Mitchell Building, 1st floor, Mon-Fri, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. There
is a non-refundable $50 application/registration processing fee.
Confirmation of application/registration will be emailed to participants.
If you do not receive confirmation or have questions, email summer at umd.edu.
Other questions regarding the course coordination can be directed to Sean
Smith at the MD DNR (ssmith at dnr.state.md.us).
