Where:<\/strong> University of Washington Botanic Gardens Center for Urban Horticulture, NHS Hall

Restoration practitioners are challenged by projects in which recovery toward a reference model community is not attainable. In these cases, it becomes advantageous to restore ecosystem function, rather than a historical suite of species. In this symposium, we will look at restoring ecosystems beyond reference conditions \u2212 from the theoretical background, practical application, and ethical dimensions that practitioners need to understand in order to restore ecological communities and functions across a complex and ever-changing landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This symposium is co-sponsored by the University of Washington Botanic Gardens and the Northwest Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration and is part of a collaboration to provide continuing education for restoration ecology practitioners. Come to ask questions, to hear your colleagues\u2019 stories of their successes and challenges, and to learn about cutting-edge approaches being used to improve restoration project success.                                     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
