Certificate in Ecological Restoration

(Time: 150 hours) The Ecological Restoration certificate is a 150-hour program comprising five required courses. The certificate is designed to provide early career professionals with the skills necessary to undertake the most common kinds of Midwestern restorations, including revegetation of prairies, wetlands, lakeshores, forests, and savannas.

These courses were developed in partnership with staff from several Minnesota state agencies who identified a critical need to train more restoration professionals to meet the growing demand for these skills. These courses provide practical skills and knowledge to succeed at restoration.
