The River Management Society invites river professionals to join us for a week of technical training and peer learning in the immediate aftermath of the largest dam removal in US history at our Restoring Rivers for a Resilient Future River Management Training Symposium! The event will take place April 8-10, 2025, at Ashland Hills Hotel and Suites in Ashland, Oregon, with field sessions at regional restoration sites.

Restoring free flow to nearly 300 miles of the Klamath River will provide a unique backdrop for sharing strategies and techniques that are restoring and rehabilitating watersheds and their communities across the country. Decades in the making, this landmark dam removal project is a national case study in how to create previously unthinkable change through the restoration of relationships and the renewal of collaboration to create more resilient communities. In addition to the historic work on the Klamath, we look forward to learning how groups are applying skills related to river flow, water quality and collaborative experiences where you live and work.

Professionals from across the country鈥攔iver managers, rangers, outfitters, planners, water trail coordinators, advocates, community leaders, scientists, and students alike鈥攚ill share how they are evolving multidisciplinary, collaborative approaches to address a range of topics including visitor use, flood prevention and recovery, fire and forest resilience, water quality, responsible recreation, and development. We are confident that you will gain new insights and practical tools you can apply to reset your rivers鈥� ecological integrity and biodiversity, re-establish connections between their human communities and ecosystems, and renew their long-term vitality.

Parent Project is a 10-week series where we go over topics like improving family relationships, using effective discipline to improve school attendance and performance, reduce substance use and negative peer influences, and how to address destructive behavior. It is an opportunity to meet with other parents in similar situations in a judgement free zone and begin to develop a new support system. When you feel like you have tried everything and nothing is working, we can help.

Maryum McKee brought yellow rose shoots with her on the long journey from Missouri to Oregon in 1853. She planted these on a rude homestead out in the Applegate and neighbors propagated the rose throughout the valley. To commemorate Maryum鈥檚 journey, the Jacksonville Museum Quilters handcrafted a quilt in 1984 that is a historical representation of the John McKee family and Maryum鈥檚 treasured yellow rose. The Jacksonville Museum Quilters gifted this quilt to the Rogue Valley Genealogical Library in 2015. In this special local history event, Anne Billeter will show how Maryum鈥檚 Yellow Rose Quilt reflects a woman鈥檚 life and a family鈥檚 history. Billeter serves as President of the Rogue Valley Genealogical Society

Calm Abiding Meditation
This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do, we release them and maintain our connection to the support.

鈥淔rom this practice, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity, freedom in the face of circumstances, and ultimately Buddhahood.鈥�
