Practical and Applied Restoration

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course provides experiential training in restoration practice as a process of applying ecology knowledge and as a process of engagement with rightsholders and stakeholders. Each stage of the restoration project life cycle will be examined through theoretical background, best practices and hands-on experience. Students will plan, implement and monitor current restoration initiatives within Saskatchewan to gain practical experience and apply concepts. Working in collaboration with local restoration practitioners, Indigenous communities and the public, students will gain a better understanding of the engagement and communication required for successful restoration. This course will be primarily held in an outdoor setting and require frequent and sustained physical activity.
