Bulletins
This month's issue brings the final reminder for conference bookings which are closing in March, and a reminder that poster submissions are still open for the poster session at conference. The River Champions nominations are also closing soon, so nominate someone you know who helps out in their local environment. This issue also looks back at a couple of training courses which took place over February - one held in Northern Ireland looking at community engagement in river restoration, and the other held in Wilmslow, Cheshire, providing an introductory session to hydromorphology. Both blogs from these events are available in this issue, along with lots of interesting job oppotunities and news updates.
This month we launch the first training course of the year focusing on hydromorphology. Also we publish a new factsheet and video on how to get involved in river restoration in your local area. Additionally, the RRC River Champions aims to acknowledge those who volunteer their time to help restore their local river environment.
This month the UK River Prize 2017 has been launched, early bird bookings for our Annual Network Conference are still open, and we look back on the Members' Site Visit earlier in November. Also, there are many news articles and events to catch up on!
