The Grassland Restoration Network\u00a0is a loose affiliation of people trying to\u00a0use prairie restoration (reconstruction)\u00a0as a way to rebuild, conserve and sustain grassland ecosystems.\u00a0 Each year, we\u00a0put on a\u00a0workshop\u00a0to share ideas, techniques, research results, and stories with other.\u00a0 Workshops are hosted\u00a0by a different site each year, giving us\u00a0the opportunity to\u00a0visit a range of projects over the years.<\/p>\n
The next workshop will be hosted here in central Nebraska (near Grand Island) on September 13 and 14, 2016. \u00a0We’ll visit sites owned by both\u00a0Prairie Plains Resource Institute<\/u><\/a> and The Nature Conservancy (Platte River Prairies<\/u><\/a>). \u00a0As always, we will compare notes on\u00a0restoration techniques and we will look at a variety of plantings, from brand new to more then 20 years old. \u00a0In addition, however, we will talk about how to evaluate the success of restoration projects beyond simply counting plant species. \u00a0We will tour restored sites with a number of researchers who have helped us see whether we’re actually restoring ecological function at our Platte River Prairies – including whether or not we are defragmenting the landscape for a variety of insect and animal species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Grassland Restoration Network\u00a0is a loose affiliation of people trying to\u00a0use prairie restoration (reconstruction)\u00a0as a way to rebuild, conserve and sustain grassland ecosystems.\u00a0 Each year, we\u00a0put on a\u00a0workshop\u00a0to share ideas, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[17,18,22],"class_list":["post-3049","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-prairies","tribe_events_cat-restoration","tribe_events_cat-workshop","cat_prairies","cat_restoration","cat_workshop"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/westerncanada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/3049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/westerncanada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/westerncanada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/westerncanada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/westerncanada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/3049\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/westerncanada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/westerncanada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3049"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/westerncanada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=3049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
