Webinar: Evolving Estuaries: How monitoring science informs restoration over time
Wednesday, December 10th, 2025
For over 20 years, the Land Trust has been restoring critical wetland habitats in the Columbia River estuary. These ecosystems are dynamic and complex, and long-term scientific monitoring is key to understanding how they change—and how they support both wildlife and people. In this webinar, we’ll explore the tools and techniques used to monitor these wetlands, and how the data we gather helps shape restoration strategies that ensure long-term resilience.
