PRRSUM Monthly Forum
Please join us for our monthly forum. We meet from from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory to discuss topics related to Upper Midwest research, training, and practice in river restoration. The meeting includes a presentation and discussion on a selected restoration topic; time is also given for informal networking and “pop-up” discussions of other topics. 

Interactive Webstream
We are now offering an interactive webstream of the forum. The technology is simple to use and allows people to participate in the forum through their web browser. Click here for details.
