This course offers an introduction to the science, policy, and social issues around ecological restoration. We examine and discuss a multitude of restoration projects, including consideration of roles of agriculture, in urban, rural, and natural areas through the use of case studies, field work, field trips, and guest lectures. Field work is mostly conducted at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and is to participate in conducting standard restoration practices and learn to collect data for site inventory, monitoring, and assessing restoration success.
