RRC Themed Workshops
Themed workshops organised by RRC are a response to a recognised need to focus on a
particular area of river restoration. They aim to bring practitioners together to share and discuss their experiences.
Following the format of a 1 to 2 day event with presentations, discussion sessions and site visits, topic workshops are
open to anyone with an interest or involvement in that specific area and are discounted for members. RRC topic workshops
held so far are:

Held on 12th-13th December 2006 at The Forest Lodge Hotel, Lyndhurst, New Forest.
Partner Organisations - Environment Agency, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, Scottish Natural Heritage
A year on from this workshop, in December 2007, a small working group meeting was organised which was attended by a group of experts who each represented different disciplines. The aim of this meeting was to build on the knowledge gained from the December 2006 Monitoring Seminar.
