The Decade of Ecological Restoration! Begins today. 30-some years ago when I began my practice of ecological restoration it was inconceivable that a decade of world-wide emphasis on restoration might be declared. We have come a long ways indeed in understanding the potential and benefits of ecological repair and regeneration, and the importance of green infrastructure for all our communities. The downside of course is that even as our knowledge has grown over these years, the rate of damage and destruction has grown faster. So much work still to do. BUT! Today let’s celebrate! And then get to work! A decade of ecological restoration!
