First thing that comes to my mind is Tanner Springs Park in Portland, OR

Not sure it falls into the “restoration” definition — but it’s a re-purpose and is very successful at integrating public use with BMPs.

This may not fit, but what about rivers like the White Salmon that are having dams removed?

Thanks Chupa, It’s going to be amazing to see how the White Salmon and Elwha progress! I think I need some older restoration examples though.

Also – for those of you in the northwest, Society for Ecological Restoration and the American Fisheries Society Northwest and B.C. chapters are teaming up for a conference in Victoria. There are quite a few LAs in our membership as well as scientists, planners, restoration practitioners, academics…it’s going to be a great conference. http://agm2012.wabc-afs.org/
