hosting a workshop to share lessons from leaders in the field of river restoration and discuss ideas for how to apply some of those lessons to advance recovery efforts for Atlantic salmon with particular focus in Downeast Maine. Workshop participants will
have the opportunity to cooperatively explore some of the legacy impacts of historic land use practices and take part in conversations geared toward developing consensus around activities that will (1) do no harm and (2) have the potential of “moving the needle”
on Atlantic salmon recovery. The desired outcomes of this workshop support the five-year work plan for the Downeast Salmon Habitat Recovery Unit (SHRU) Team which calls for the development of a “Recovery Toolbox” that citizens, agencies, and NGOs can use
to advance Atlantic Salmon recovery efforts. While much of the content is specific to Downeast Maine, much of the information and discussion will be applicable to habitat restoration efforts throughout Maine, New England, and the Maritime Provinces. Speakers
will include several notable members of the restoration community from the Pacific Northwest. The final agenda will be available for distribution soon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
