Register online Course attendees will learn the fundamental principles that guide the field of ecosystem restoration as well as best practices in restoration site assessment and project design that help practitioners achieve project goals. These principles and best practices will be demonstrated and deconstructed in a case study of a decade’s long community-driven restoration project at Juanita Bay Park in Kirkland, WA. The course will also include early planning strategies that address common challenges such as macro and microclimate changes, budget shortfalls, and dramatic increases in open space use. This class is part I of a four-part series, Foundational Concepts and Implementation Essentials for Resilient, Inclusive Landscapes - covering the fundamental principles of ecological restoration and best practices for applying those principles in our increasingly dynamic world. The series is grounded in case studies of ongoing wetland, forest, and prairie restoration projects at Juanita Bay, Juanita Beach, Totem Lake and South Norway Hill parks in Kirkland. Attendance to other parts of the series is encouraged, but not required. This event is pre-approved for up to 4 CECs (2 CECs per virtual session). An optional field session (cost: $45) is available to add on during registration for an additional 3 CECs. |
