FIELD SESSIONS

The field sessions are a centerpiece of the workshop. We will take about half a day to explore a local living shorelines project to learn from the project team how the project was designed, implemented, and maintained. More information on specific sites will be available in August.

Field sessions are part of the overall event and are open only to those who register and pay the registration fee. Participation in field sessions is optional but included in the registration cost. Partial or one-day registrations are not permitted.

Field sessions will most likely be outdoors and exposed to the elements, and will occur rain or shine. Walking or standing on unpaved ground may be required. Please plan accordingly.
