"the original restoration publication"

Ecological Restoration is a forum for people interested in all areas of ecological restoration. We feature the technical and biological aspects of restoring landscapes, as well as emerging professional issues, the role of education, evolving theories of post-modern humans and their environment, land-use policy, the science of collaboration, and more. The quarterly publication offers original feature articles, short notes, and book reviews as well as abstracts of pertinent work published elsewhere.

"ER was instrumental in awakening restoration in North America, and prospers as an invaluable publication for those whose approach to restoring ecosystems includes ecology, culture and all that goes into making a project successful."
Eric Higgs, author Nature By Design

ER is published for the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum by the University of Wisconsin Press and in association with the Society for Ecological Restoration International. Ecological Restoration is available as a stand-alone subscription or at a discounted rate for members of SERI or the Friends of the Arboretum.

Published since 1981, (originally as Restoration & Management Notes) Ecological Restoration is the oldest publication to deal exclusively with the subject of restoring ecosystems.
