Call for Abstract Submissions

Abstracts are being sought for oral presentations and posters on Urban Riparian and Stream restoration with a focus on engaging in a distanced world. The symposium will be held virtual this year so presenters are encouraged to submit abstracts for presentations that can be delivered in an online format. Pre-recorded, live presentations, or audio only presentations will be considered. Please submit abstracts here by clicking "Start Application" at the bottom of this page.

If your abstract is accepted, it will be published in the online Conference Proceedings. The sessions for the Conference Program will be organized based on the list of topics below. Provided your presentation meets the selection criteria, we will do our best to include you in the program.

Oral Presentations:

Oral presentations will be 20 minutes in length (15 minutes for your presentation with 5 minutes for questions). If your abstract is accepted, you will receive additional information regarding presentation logistics and guidelines. Please note that the length of each presentation is subject to change. If your presentation is part of a series of presentations please notify us of the other presentation/s that it is paired with.

Consider Sharing

●     How is your project or research unique within the urban context? Within your city?

●     What constraints, priorities, and opportunities are present in urban riparian systems that are not often part of traditional riparian projects?

●     Who benefited most from the restoration efforts? What outreach was carried out?

●       How were stakeholders identified and engaged? Which stakeholders were most actively involved?

●     What strategies were (and were not) successful?

Would you do things differently next time, based on lessons learned? What lessons can be taken from the city to the country and vice-versa?
