Good Book on Ecological Restoration

Restoring Ecological Health to Your Land by Steven I. Apfelbaum and Alan Haney

Here is a great book for practitioners of ecological restoration and budding restorationists.

Restoring Ecological Health to Your Land is the first practical guidebook to give restorationists and would-be restorationists with little or no scientific training or background the “how to” information and knowledge they need to plan and implement ecological restoration activities. The book gives step-by-step process for developing, implementing, monitoring, restoration projects. Steeped in land ethic and solid ecology, this volume spells out the route for restoration, from initial concept to planning, implementation, and long-term management. Great book.
