SUMMARY:Iowa River Restoration Toolbox: Level 1 Training
DESCRIPTION:This four-day training teaches streambank stabilization and restoration techniques using the Iowa DNR River Restoration Toolbox. Led by experienced restoration professionals\, the course combines classroom instruction with hands-on field exercises at a local stream site. \nHosted by the Great Outdoors Foundation in partnership with ISWEP and the Iowa DNR. \nWhat You’ll Learn \nThe course covers stream assessment fundamentals and field survey methods\, stream stability evaluation and bank assessment techniques\, data analysis and restoration practice selection using the River Restoration Toolbox\, and permitting\, design principles\, and real-world case studies. \nYour Instructors \nNate Hoogeveen directs river programs for the Iowa DNR\, overseeing water trails\, dam modifications\, and river restoration initiatives. His work spans river science\, construction oversight\, and program development\, and he brings years of practical experience with Iowa river systems and restoration practices. \nMike Adams works across the United States and is experienced in all facets of stream restoration\, from field assessment and data analysis through design\, permitting\, and construction oversight. His approach centers on understanding the processes driving a problem before pursuing solutions. He works closely with biologists\, ecologists\, geologists\, and other specialists to achieve project goals. \nTraining Overview \nDay 1 focuses on stream assessment fundamentals\, including hydrology\, stream classification\, and field measurement methods. The afternoon is spent in the field where teams survey and assess a designated stream reach\, then return to the classroom to plot data and classify findings. \nDay 2 covers stream stability and channel evolution concepts. Teams finalize and present their findings from Day 1\, then head back into the field for a second exercise focused on bank surveys and stability assessment. \nDay 3 shifts to data analysis and practice selection. Topics include vegetation establishment\, erosion control\, and using the Toolbox for data entry. Teams present their stability and bank assessments and discuss appropriate restoration practices. \nDay 4 addresses permitting\, geomorphic channel design\, and real-world case studies. The training wraps up with a site visit to local restoration projects. \nLight breakfast\, lunch\, and refreshments are provided each day. \nThis training includes significant outdoor field work in and around streams. Participants should be prepared for walking on uneven terrain and working in muddy\, wet conditions. Hip waders or tall rain boots are required\, along with extra footwear for classroom sessions. Bring pencils\, a clipboard\, and a laptop. \nRegister here!\nEarly bird pricing is available for registrations received by June 3rd\, 2026.
