This 2-day course provides participants first with a broad overview of Site Restoration/Mitigation, and then expands to an examination of specific steps used for innovative restoration and mitigation planning and implementation, applicable to western North America.
Restoration/mitigation programs should address all aspects of a site’s ecosystem, rather than simply enhancing a particular species or group of species. With this in mind, course material is designed to introduce a complete approach. Topics covered include restoration/mitigation planning; research needs; regulatory and permit coordination; early considerations of unanticipated effects, bioengineering, best management practices (BMPs), cost estimation, maintenance of the mitigation, provisions to be taken during all phase of the implementation to ensure success, and how to quantify success in terms of area and ecological function.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
• Determine Regulatory Considerations for the planned restoration
• Understand Restoration / Mitigation Planning needs
• Determine suitable Site Conditions and Research Needs
• Understand Needs for Planting Plans
• Determine the Best Monitoring Methodologies
• Anticipate Maintenance Issues
Course Materials: Each attendee will receive a binder containing a syllabus with the course topics, descriptions, and considerations for undertaking restoration/mitigation topics. The syllabus will include an extensive reference list of materials covering aspects of environmental restoration. This syllabus will be distributed at the beginning of the class.
*Reduced tuition is available to employees of Native American tribes, government agencies, nonprofits, students and NAEP members.
