Bioengineering Ecological Restoration Course

We have rescheduled our Bioengineering Ecological Restoration course to November 23rd and 24th. We are excited to offer this course for FREE thanks to our sponsors and funders. 

The two-day course is aimed at anyone wanting to learn more about ecological restoration options with an emphasis on bioengineering techniques. Soil bioengineering is an applied science that uses live plant materials to perform an engineering function such as slope stabilization, soil erosion control, or seepage control.

Topics to be covered include:

    * Factors involved in successful restoration

    * Successional reclamation

    * Soil bioengineering techniques

    * Regional differences in climate, soils, hydrology, plant types, and growing seasons

    * Maintenance and monitoring.

Instructor David Polster is a plant ecologist with over thirty years of experience in vegetation studies and reclamation. He has developed a wide variety of reclamation techniques for the re-establishment of riparian and aquatic habitats.
