This course will offer strategies for adjusting project implementation strategies in response to monitoring results to maintain progress toward established goals. This course will also include practical solutions to common restoration challenges such as herbivore damage, drought, and conflicts between user groups as well as a robust conversation regarding climate change implications to the field of ecological restoration.

This class is part III 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.
