Texas Riparian and Stream Ecosystems 

Tuesday, September 26, 2017  8:15 AM – 4:00 PM Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Plum Creek Watershed Partnership, and the Texas Water Resources Institute are hosting a free workshop on the nature and function of stream and riparian zones, as well as the benefits and economic impacts from healthy riparian systems. Workshop topics include watershed processes, basic hydrology, erosion/deposition principles, riparian vegetation, causes of degradation and possible resulting impairment, resources available to prevent and/or resolve degradation.
