Workgroup Information Ecological Restoration |
|
| Summary | The Ecological Restoration Workgroup will bring together a diverse group of CE Specialists, Advisors, and AES Faculty to encourage collaboration on ecological restoration research and outreach. Our goal is to facilitate knowledge transfer among individuals from different disciplines (natural resources, invasive species, rangeland management, forestry, agricultural ecology, urban ecology, etc.) in order to address long-standing issues associated with vegetation management on natural and working landscapes. Land owners, managers, agencies, growers, and the public are interested in the development of novel vegetation management strategies that are logistically and monetarily feasible, do not take land out of production, and promote sustainable and healthy communities. This workgroup will function to address this important and underserved stakeholder need. |
