Ecological restoration design may seem relatively straightforward, yet many factors that have little to do with ecology play a prominent role in the final design of a project. This online course is designed for regulators, planners, sustainability professionals and project funders who want to explore the external factors that influence planning and design. Through pre-recorded lectures and live Q&A sessions, you will be exposed to real-world interactions between restoration designers, permitting agencies, landowners, technical advisory committees and the general public. You’ll learn the importance of setting achievable goals and objectives to be used as a basis for design decisions–and throughout various projects, the instructor will guide you through the standard project stages, which highlight key decision points.
