11th Annual Coho Confab April 11, 2008

The Coho Confab is a symposium to explore watershed restoration, learn restoration techniques to recover coho salmon populations, and to network with other fish-centric people. To confabulate literally means to informally chat or to fabricate to compensate for gaps in ones memory. Not to imply that restorationists are prone to hyperbole when recounting the size of a rescued fish, the magnitude of the waterfall coming out of the culvert, or the heroics of a particular restoration job. The Confab is an informal gathering of fishheads that allows for participants and instructors to learn from each other’s experience. Participants learn skills and practices that can be applied to restore habitat in their home watershed. Each year the Confab is held in another location on the North Coast.

The 11th Annual Coho Confab will be held on the South Fork of the Smith River in the far northwestern corner
of California.

Advanced registration fees are $100 that includes all camping, food and lodging. After August 1st, registration
is $125. For more information about the Confab, please visit www.calsalmon.org or www.treesfoundation.org
