Helping Nature Help Itself: Restoring the Land Using Natural Processes
Charles Smith will discuss how to restore landscapes from your backyard up to large natural areas using principles of restoration ecology. The program will focus on applying knowledge of how ecosystems work to restore health to the land. Particular attention will be paid to establishing restoration goals, inventorying the area around the restoration site, building on remaining natural areas, and developing a palette of locally native plant species that will support wildlife and provide ecosystem and aesthetic benefits. We also will discuss how to address challenges, including poor soils, deer browse, invasive species, and water flow issues.
