About event
Come join a fireside chat focused around Ecosystem Restoration, Regenerative Ecology, and creating a network of commonsverse community. Every Wednesday from 5-7 we will have a 30-minute lecture on Ecosystem Restoration, followed by a 30-minute collaborative dialogue, and an hour of collective direct action and mutual aid for regenerative ecology. Tea will be provided, please bring homemade snacks or homebrew to share :) After the 2 hour Ecosystem Restoration group, you are welcome to stay for live music by local artists and musicians from 7-10, or sit by the outside firepit and enjoy the sunset over Forest Park.

We are working from the International Standards of Ecological Restoration, dedicated to reversing this degradation of centuries of unsustainable activities that have damaged the aquatic, marine, and terrestrial environments that underpin our economies and societies by restoring the earth for the benefit of both humans and nature.
Our hope is that these learning work parties advance the science, practice, and policy of ecological restoration to sustain biodiversity, improve resilience in a changing climate, and re-establish an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture.
Our vision:
Ecological restoration becomes a fundamental component of conservation and sustainable development programs throughout the world by virtue of its inherent capacity to provide people with the opportunity to not only repair ecological damage, but also improve the human condition.
Our Guiding Values
These underlying values guide and inform our work:
Ecological restoration is an engaging and inclusive process. Restoration embraces the interrelationships between nature and culture, engages all sectors of society, and enables full and effective participation of indigenous, local, and disenfranchised communities
Ecological restoration requires the integration of knowledge and practice. All forms of knowledge are essential for designing, implementing, and monitoring restoration projects and programs. At the same time, lessons learned from practical experiences are essential for determining and prioritizing the scientific needs of the field.
Ecological restoration is policy-relevant and essential. Restoration is a critical tool for achieving biodiversity conservation, mitigating and adapting to climate change, enhancing ecosystem services, fostering sustainable socioeconomic development, and improving human health and well-being.
Ecological restoration is practiced locally with global implications. Restoration takes place in all regions of the world, with local actions having regional and global benefits for nature and people.
