Keynote and plenary speakers will address the theme of monitoring ecological restoration and other regionally important topics.

The conference will be held April 4-8, 2016, at the Red Lion Inn (Jantzen Beach) in Portland, Oregon.

The conference will address the practice and science of ecological restoration and management in the Cascadia Bioregion and highlight the following thematic topics:

We welcome proposals that address our conference theme, though other restoration-centric subjects relevant to the Pacific Northwest Region will also be considered. We encourage submission of proposals that include scientific research, case studies, as well as social, cultural, and economic implications of ecological restoration and management.

The conference will include three days of concurrent sessions, plenary, and workshops. One day of field trips will conclude the conference.
