Announcing the next virtual workshop in the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)-Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF)-Washington State Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office (GSRO) Knowledge Exchange series:

Low-Tech Approaches for Salmon Habitat Restoration

March 12^th, 2026

9am – 3:30pm PST on Zoom

Low‑tech restoration approaches are rapidly gaining popularity as practitioners and funders seek affordable, scalable ways to restore natural processes, address stream impairments, and reintroduce structure and habitat complexity in watersheds. Over the past several decades of implementing these projects, we have monitored their effectiveness, refined our techniques, and created a space for innovation to achieve maximum benefit for minimum cost. In many settings, low‑tech approaches offer a cost‑effective and ecologically grounded way to achieve salmon recovery outcomes.

This virtual workshop, co‑hosted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Pacific Salmon Foundation, and Washington’s Governor Salmon Recovery Office, brings together experts to discuss the latest practices and emerging techniques in low‑tech restoration. Presenters will share their expertise and lessons learned from implementing projects at a range of scales and offer guidance on where low‑tech approaches are most effective. Participants will gain practical insights and expert guidance to help advance the use of low‑tech methods in watershed stewardship and salmon recovery. 

A detailed agenda will be emailed soon.
