4 th National Conference on Ecosystem Restoration
The purpose of NCER is to provide an interactive forum for physical, biological and social scientists, engineers, resource managers, planners and policy makers to share their experiences and research results concerning large-scale ecosystem restoration on both national and international levels.
The conference is designed to bring together scientists and engineers, policy makers, planners and partners who are actively involved in or affected by all aspects of ecosystem restoration regardless of project or program size. Participants will interact in an interdisciplinary setting to summarize and review cutting edge science, to create and maintain effective partnerships, and to leverage resources. Individuals interested in planning and management activities such as setting goals, objectives and performance measures by which to measure success should be sure to attend. Participation by federal, state and local agencies, tribal governments, NGO's, private companies, water resource engineers and managers, environmental consultants, policy makers, scientists, researchers, modelers, environmental interest groups and students has been the hallmark of past NCERs and will continue in NCER 2011.
