Habitat Restoration

Information Center



     Welcome to the Habitat Restoration Information Center. The purpose of our Center is to facilitate the exchange of information pertaining to the restoration of native plant and animal species, and their habitats. Our Center's mission is to provide private landowners, river and watershed groups, environmentally conscientious businesses, environmental and conservation organizations, land and resource managers, teachers, and students with the educational tools needed to restore the environment. Our goal is to aid you in obtaining the technical information and expertise required to:

  • Evaluate ecosystem function and health.
  • Restore natural physical and biological processes.
  • Eradicate invasive exotic pest plants and animals.
  • Revegetate disturbed areas with native plant species.
  • Reintroduce extirpated plant and animal species.
  • Enhance degraded aquatic, wetland and terrestrial habitats.
  • Increase biodiversity by creating new fish and wildlife habitats.

     We encourage you, or your organization, to suggest information, products, or services to be included in the Center (i.e., for the Events Calendar, the Library, the Buyer's Guide). Submissions found relevant to the Center's purpose will be considered for inclusion.
