Beyond Recovery: Restoration for the Future

YOU’RE INVITED! 10–12 APRIL 2019 AT THE SANTA BARBARA VETERAN’S BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN SANTA BARBARA FOR THE 26TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CALIFORNIA SOCIETY FOR ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION

The ecological systems of our beautiful state of California are under almost constant siege from one or more of the impacts from the past (historical land use practices and extensive development), the present (prolonged droughts, history-making wildfires, flooding, and massive mudslides), and the future (climate change and increasing human pressures). Looking beyond recovery, our collective restoration expertise and efforts must work towards models of resiliency that will address ecosystem recovery for both today’s and for tomorrow’s generations.

Please join our gathering of habitat restoration experts to contribute and learn from partners on how best to apply state-of-the-art restoration lessons and approaches. Participants will have the opportunity to share the science, art, and passion of ecological restoration as we look towards future challenges and opportunities.

Whether you work statewide or locally along the Central Coast, we look forward to your participation at SERCAL’s 26th Annual Conference in Santa Barbara.
