 The Ecological Restoration certificate is a 150-hour program of five courses, offered twice per year by the University of Minnesota Extension.
The program provides early-career professionals with the practical skills and knowledge necessary to undertake the most common kinds of Midwestern restorations including revegetation of prairies, wetlands, lakeshores, forests and savannas.
Seasoned practitioners will also benefit from the depth of the content.
These courses were developed in partnership with staff from several Minnesota state agencies, including the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, who identified a critical need to train more restoration professionals to meet the growing demand for these skills.
Course development was funded by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR). The Trust Fund is a permanent fund constitutionally established by the citizens of Minnesota to assist in the protection, conservation, preservation, and enhancement of the state's air, water, land, fish, wildlife and other natural resources.
