Reclaiming is recognized and practiced by many industries, including mining and petrol extraction. Restoring is recognized most broadly around the world, and has been the main focus of SER. Rewilding, or bringing back to nature, allows us to dream. These terms apply to ideas found in industry, science, practice, society, and imagination. They run from the practical to the creative and aim to engage a diverse audience of restoration practitioners, researchers, and policy makers. <\/p>\n<p>Included below are upcoming deadlines and general information. Registration opens soon and  current SER members will receive a reduced rate on conference fees.
