Symposium Goals
There has been an increased interest in the issues
surrounding ecosystem restoration. Many and varied
projects involving aspects of ecosystem restoration are
underway or have been recently completed across the
nation.
The EPA's National Risk Management Research Labora-
tory, in cooperation with the Society for Ecological
Restoration, wishes to bring together ecosystem restora-
tion researchers and practitioners for a mutually beneficial
symposium. The symposium goals are to-share informa-
tion and experiences about recent and ongoing projects, to
define the current scope of ecosystem restoration
research, and to form partnerships for future restoration
activities. Participants will hear technical presentations on
the current state-of-the-art in both research and real-world
applications ;
Some presentations will discuss strategic planning for
ecological restoration and should be of interest to resource
managers and decision-makers.
Who Should Attend
Ecosystem restoration researchers and practitioners;
federal, state, and local-decision makers and others
interested in ecosystem restoration.
