Dialogue Topics
The dialogues occur on and along the rivers. These workshops provide opportunities for expression, collective learning, networking, and discussion. 3R2N team members spend six months prior to each event assessing available information about river issues as well as developing new studies and analysis. This information is mailed to workshop participants prior to each event. The dialogues are designed to provide an optimal climate for discussing alternative models and emerging concepts in urban river quality, conservation, restoration, access, and public use. Thoughts and ideas are recorded and made available to the public. Local and national experts from a variety of professions, community leaders, and municipal officials participated in four workshops in 2001 These were the subject areas:

Urban River Water Quality
Understanding Living Rivers
Stream Restoration and Daylighting
Public Access and Restorative Development

Urban River Quality Understanding Living Rivers: Stream Restoration and Daylighting: It's My River!
