Restoration Ecology

Restoration ecology is the science of creation, management, and perpetuation of wildlife habitat. This course will examine this subject through lectures providing requisite knowledge of principles in ecology, natural selection, and biodiversity. These principles are applied to existing and on-going habitat restoration techniques in the Sacramento area combined with visits to some of these restored areas to observe firsthand the restoration methods, management, and success of the sites. Several field trips to local restoration sites occur during the course.
