Sign up here for the LAR Science Share mailing list to receive meeting materials, announcements, and updates.
Convened by the Water Forum, the annual Science Share provides in-depth discussion of fisheries, river science, and non-aquatic Parkway studies. Scientists and technical experts working on the Lower American River lead these sessions. Meetings are open to stakeholders and interested members of the public.
The next Science Share will likely be in June 2027; sign up for the mailing list to stay in the know!
