NRSM 436 - Restoration II

3 credits (Hrs: 3 Lec)

This course will build upon the ecological concepts introduced in Restoration I by examining how those concepts are incorporated into practical on-the-ground restoration projects, as well as other practical considerations. Topics covered include site engineering, plant selection and maintenance, agencies and regulations involved in restoration activities, and financial and practical considerations in ecological restoration projects. We will use case studies as examples, with a focus on local restoration projects. Local experts will be featured as guest lecturers.
