The book sets forth a step-by-step process for developing, implementing, monitoring, and refining on-the-ground restoration projects that is applicable to a wide range of landscapes and ecosystems. The first part of the book introduces the process of ecological restoration in simple, easily understood language through specific examples drawn from the authors’ experience restoring their own lands in southern and central Wisconsin. It offers systematic, step-by-step strategies along with inspiration and benchmark experiences. The book’s second half shows how that same “thinking” and “doing” can be applied to North America’s major ecosystems and landscapes in any condition or scale. No other ecological restoration book leads by example and first-hand experience likethis one. The authors encourage readers to champion restoration of ecosystems close to where they live . . . at home, on farms and ranches, in parks and preserves. It provides an essential bridge for people from all walks of life and all levels of experience—from land trust member property stewards to agency personnel responsible for restoring lands in their care—and represents a unique and important contribution to the literature on restoration.
Apfelbaum, an international ecology consultant, and Haney (forest ecology, U. of Wisconsin-Stevens Point) offer a handbook, partly for owners of land who want to restore its health after often decades of abuse and degradation, but also for government agencies that have become stewards of land secured for conservation, and would like to stop and reverse the damage done to it. The first half is devoted to principles of ecological restoration, covering connecting with the land, an overview, developing a restoration plan, implementing restoration, and monitoring progress. The other five chapters survey the application of these principles to grassland, forest, wetland, stream, and desert environments. They assume no technical background.
