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.
