Conservation Training
Ecological Restoration Monitoring, Maintenance, and Adaptive Management
January 23, 2024 – January 25, 2024
11:00 am – 11:00 am
Location: Online
This course is 2-parts, one on January 23 and the other January 25. Course attendees will learn simple, low-cost monitoring and reporting protocols that allow practitioners to gauge their progress in meeting project goals and keep stakeholders engaged throughout the restoration process. Participants will also be provided with specific strategies and resources for managing non-native plants, insects, and animals commonly found at restoration sites in the greater Puget Sound region and for responding to herbivore damage, conflicts between user groups, climate change, extreme weather conditions, and increasing requirements for seasonal watering. These principles and best practices will be demonstrated and deconstructed in a case study of a decades’ long community-driven restoration program, the Green Kirkland Partnership, in Kirkland, WA.
