Please join the Department of Natural Resources for the 7th annual science conference of the Olympic Experimental State Forest (OESF) – Linking Science to Natural Resource Management. This year’s event will be held at the Rainforest Arts Center in Forks, Washington on April 24, 2025, from 8:30 am to 3:30 p.m. In the morning, enjoy presentations and posters on the latest scientific research and monitoring in the OESF. In the afternoon, tour an active riparian habitat restoration site or attend a panel discussion on ungulate monitoring and modeling on the Olympic Peninsula. The event is free, but registration is required.

This half-day symposium is the third in a series of virtual symposiums bringing together experts in the field of estuary restoration along the U.S. West Coast to explore effective estuary restoration topics.

This symposium will explore:

• Monitoring techniques and guidance
• Data hubs
• Collaborative platforms

This series of symposiums is designed to support estuary restoration practitioners and will include opportunities to share techniques, ask questions, and build a community of practice.  The symposiums are hosted by the Pacific Marine and Estuarine Fish Habitat Partnership with generous funding from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. There is no cost to attend, but space will be limited. Registration information will be published soon.
