Class 1: Establishing Goals & Developing a Plan

Our At Home Restoration Series is a 3-part series to give urban and suburban residents the skills they need to successfully restore their yard, neighborhood forest, or nearby park space. This series targets small-scale restoration efforts, generally 5 acres or less, but the skills learned can be applied to larger projects. Program participants will learn why invasive plants are a problem, how to remove them from their project location, and how to develop a plan that will lead to long-term success. Each class will last approximately 1 hour with time for questions at the end. It is highly recommended to take the whole series as each class will build on knowledge learned from the previous class.

Description: The first step in any successful restoration project, big or small, is to establish a goal(s) that will guide you in your work. Your goal(s) will influence the restoration methods used and the timeline in which you should expect to complete the project. This class will teach participants how to look at their property through the eyes of a restoration professional and help them establish their restoration plan. We will explore a variety of restoration approaches ranging from the “professional approach” to the most DIY/low-cost methods. Finally, we will discuss how to measure success and how to adapt your plan based on what you are seeing at your site.
Presenter: Kevin Ptacek – Project Manager for Davey Resource Group, ISA Certified Arborist, & SW Ohio President for the Society of Ecological Restoration
