RESTORATION ECOLOGY LAB and STUDENTS

 

 

The Ecology Lab operates out of the Center for Urban Horticulture, University of Washington. Students and faculty in the lab combine techniques from horticulture with the understanding of ecological processes to restore, repair and manage ecosystems. Current and past lab members have worked on coastal and freshwater wetlands, prairies, oak woodlands, oak savannas, thornscrub, riparian systems, steppe, streams, arctic and sub-arctic environments, eelgrass and kelp meadows, bioswales, vernal pools, capped landfills.
