Course Overview
In this course, students work in teams to develop an evidence-based ecological restoration project. The content and activities of the courses are structured to support the development of the project, and to deepen students' knowledge, understanding, and skills in investigating and resolving problems relevant to ecological restoration at the Master of Science level. Using their research skills, students work on a new restoration project or restoration plan, or on the monitoring and assessment of an existing one, in collaboration with a project partner. The ecological restoration project should include experimental design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation.
