Just what is the Urban Riparian Symposium?

URS is THE biannual conference in Texas for all things riparian, co-hosted by the Texas Riparian Association and the Texas Water Resources Institute. The Symposium has enjoyed hundreds of presentations ranging from stream restoration stories and methods, green stormwater infrastructure and in-stream habitat studies, to mitigation efforts, nutrient enrichment, community science, and floodplain planning.

This year’s theme is: Bridging Nature and the City. We are looking forward to hearing about your projects, how you physically go about your work, and how riparian systems and projects are being maintained in your area.

Consider being a sponsor or exhibitor! Our three-day conference is a fantastic way to promote your service or cause.

Questions should be directed to Alexander Neal by email Alexander.Neal@ag.tamu.edu or call 979.314.2351.

A Conference Rate Room Block is now available at Courtyard Waco, adjacent to the Waco Convention Center. Please use the link below to book your room!
