First wildland restoration graduates head out

Wildlands CPR board member Cara Nelson is a professor of restoration ecology at the University of Montana in Missoula.  The attached article from Universtiy of Montana newspaper, The Kaiman, highlights some of her and her students' successes in UM’s wildland restoration program - which Cara coordinates. Restoration ecology is a growing activity in the west.  Wildlands CPR works with Cara and her graduate students on restoration research projects.

The article specifically mentions the Forest Service Legacy Roads and Trails Remediation Initiative, and the ~$90 million in funding that it has received over the past two years, as an example of the growth in restoration activities. Wildlands CPR leads regional and national efforts to advocate for Legacy Roads.
