The ASRP Steering Committee hosts symposium events in the basin to share the scientific knowledge that has come from Chehalis Basin Strategy investment to better understand the basin ecosystems.
2020 Symposium
Date: January 7-8th, 2020
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Location: Centralia College; 600 Centralia College Blvd., Centralia WA 98531
Agenda Topics
Day 1 (1/7/20) of the ASRP Symposium is geared toward the restoration and conservation community, as well as those who are interested in the more technical and scientific aspects of the ASRP Phase 1 development. There will be several presentations which fall into four categories: monitoring, modeling, genetics, and habitat restoration data gaps. There will be time after each presentation for audience questions, so come prepared!
Day 2 (1/8/20) of the ASRP Symposium is designed to engage and inform a broader audience of the ASRP and how this program interacts with communities in the Chehalis Basin. There will be several interactive activities throughout the day including two panel discussions: the first will address restoring resilience into the Basin and how the ASRP actions will help accomplish this. The second panel discussion will introduce ASRP implementation strategies. Symposium participants will then engage in a multi-part discussion to help develop community-based solutions to implementation challenges.
A detailed agenda will be posted to this page in the coming weeks.
