Considering the climate crisis precipice upon which we stand, our ecological restoration efforts aim to have watershed, and even global impacts. Fortunately, we can accomplish this grand effort by working to restore one small area at a time. This year’s symposium (an in-person and virtual hybrid event) will focus on local-scale restoration work that aims to ultimately have regional and global impacts. Ecological restoration of small scale or scope need not be limited in consequences and can reach well beyond its borders. Speakers at this year’s symposium will focus on both the challenges and importance of restoring small sites, from how we can target efforts by effectively choosing sites to have broader impacts on the ecosystem or the nearby community, to how we can connect many restoration sites and measure the collective benefits of work done by many diverse people and organizations.
