River and Stream Restoration: Hunterdon County, New Jersey

The principal instructors for the course have taught river restoration and related topics for many years, and have been involved both in state-of-the-art research and practical applications. Moreover, the instructors have worked on and analyzed river and stream restoration projects across North America, as well as parts of Europe and Asia, and thus draw in experience from a wide range of fluvial environments across a spectrum from large rivers to small streams, and from highly urban to wilderness settings.
