Does anyone anything about river/riparian habitat restoration in the So. California area? Am starting a thesis project that involves the LA River.

I live in Northern California…We are pretty dry…has not rained since this past Memorial Day and has not really rained since this past February.

I’ve never attended a graphics workshop, but it seems like it might be really helpful, considering there’s not a lot of drawing/sketching training in school. Anyone have any thoughts if it’s worth spending the money and time on a graphics workshop?
