註釋Restoring Ecological Health to Your Land is an accessible, hands-on guide for anyone—regardless of scientific background—who wants to restore native landscapes and improve ecological function on their property. Whether you’re caring for a backyard, a farm, or a public greenspace, this book provides a clear and empowering path to take meaningful action for the environment.

Grounded in the authors’ own restoration work in Wisconsin, the book introduces a straightforward, step-by-step process for planning, implementing, and monitoring ecological restoration projects. Through practical examples and user-friendly language, readers learn how to assess a site’s condition, set realistic goals, and apply restoration strategies suited to its unique ecological and social context.

The second half expands that guidance to a variety of ecosystems across North America, showing how the same core principles can be applied to landscapes of any size or condition. From prairie and woodland to wetland and rangeland, readers gain the confidence to begin—or improve—their own restoration efforts.

Ideal for landowners, nonprofit staff, conservation volunteers, and agency professionals, Restoring Ecological Health to Your Land serves as both a field manual and a source of inspiration. It helps readers reconnect with the places they care about most—and gives them the tools to heal them.
