Hands-On Ecological Restoration

September 25, 2015 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

$75

Friday, September 25th and Friday, October 9th; 9:30 am – 12:30 pm

Field Class

Led by Jared Rosenbaum and Rachel Mackow

 

Learning how to return function and diversity to degraded habitats is one of the fundamental challenges of our time. In this two-class series, we’ll collaborate on an ecological restoration project from start to finish. Beginning with a baseline site assessment, we’ll determine restoration goals, remove unwanted species and establish others, and set up a monitoring protocol to gauge the long-term success of our efforts.

The class will take place outside; we’ll be restoring a forested area using the full spectrum of tools and plant materials available to contemporary land stewards. Participants should be prepared to engage in physical labor according to their abilities. Fundamental concepts in restoration practice, as well as recommended resources, will be covered in depth. The class will be taught by Jared Rosenbaum and Rachel Mackow of Wild Ridge Plants, LLC, in cooperation with stewardship staff from Duke Farms.
