Naturalizing and Restoring Landscapes
Description
Learn the processes involved in assessing a site and planning for a naturalized landscape. Explore the theory and practice of converting degraded green spaces into ecologically functional areas using native plant species, ecological principles, and restoration techniques.
Hands-on activities will provide you with an opportunity to create a site plan that includes site selection, soil preparation, plant selection, and maintenance. You will become familiar with the process of evaluating local planning permissions and limitations, working with public organizations, and visualizing landscape decisions, to inform landscape naturalization. Consideration will be given to the ecological connections and contributions between plants, animals, and people.
