Chapter members -

A Stream Restoration and Bioengineering Workshop will be held on Thursday, March 15, 2001. I apologize for the short notice; we had originally expected to hold the workshop in April or May, but were  pushed forward for a number of reasons.  The morning session will be held indoors at the Ramada Inn National Conference Center in East Windsor, New Jersey (right off Exit 8 of the New Jersey Turnpike). The afternoon session will be held at the Wyckoffs Mills Wetland Mitigation Bank, located 2 miles from the Ramada Inn.
