This year’s symposium will delve into an array of topics that are at the forefront of our work in ecological restoration. As restoration professionals, our priorities can change quickly as emerging science and best practices evolve. But how do we effectively manage change amongst this rapid change? Our keynote speaker will highlight how Seattle City Light integrates change management into its work at an organizational level, as well as some strategies for centering employee wellbeing while effectively managing change. Other speakers will discuss: the science behind summer watering and how local municipalities are adapting their summer watering practices, managing herbivory, emerging noxious weeds, and how local nurseries are adapting their practices in the face of climate change.
