River Restoration Training Course - 2nd - 3rd June 2025 in Carlisle - PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATES

£300.00

This two-day course which aims to introduce participants to a variety of naturalising and restored river and floodplain systems illustrating the variety of fluvial form that should be considered in any restoration scheme and demonstrating the geomorphological processes operating to create and maintain such environments in a dynamically stable state. The field visits will provide first-hand experience of the use of soft restoration and naturalisation techniques to rejuvenate dynamic systems on both low and high gradient watercourses reviewing both in-channel, valley bottom and tributary improvement options. Intervention success is fundamentally governed by system understanding and we will review practical ways of gaining knowledge of geomorphological, ecological and hydrological aspects through audit and monitoring techniques.

Participants on all FBA courses must be 18 years and above.

Dates: 2nd - 3rd June 2025 - PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATES

Location: University of Cumbria, Carlisle Campus

Tutors: George Heritage, Simon Johnson and Kieran Sheehan

Price: £300 Includes the publication - A Field guide to British Rivers by George Heritage, Andy Large and David Milan

A packed lunch will be provided via the University catering department so please ensure you indicate any dietary requirements on your booking form.
