Restoration Federation, CA Department of Fish & Game and Pacific Watershed
Associates will offer a field school to learn techniques to address culvert and
road drainage practices as well as erosion control techniques. This field school
will be held at <A href="http://www.oz-farm.com/"><FONT style="COLOR: #1c3dc5"
color=#1c3dc5><U>Oz Farm </U></FONT></A>on the Garcia River. All meals and
lodging are included in the course fees. The curriculum includes conducting road
sediment assessments (problem identification and prescription development);
implementing fish-friendly road upgrading practices (stream crossing upgrades
and improved road drainage practices to protect water quality); proper road
decommissioning practices; road inspection, and maintenance practices; erosion
control and erosion prevention practices, and spoils management. Throughout the
course we will emphasize the concepts of making our road systems as
�hydrologically invisible� and as resilient to storm events as possible. We will
also focus on educating participants about how best to address the root causes
of observed erosion problems, through both maintenance and repair practices at
each potential work site. Please visit the <A href="http://calsalmon.org/"><FONT
