This workshop on Native Plant Community Restoration and Management in
Florida and the Southeast will address restoration in uplands and
freshwater wetlands. We intend to cover such topics as:
. native plant propagation
. plant establishment
. control of exotic plants and other weeds
. wildlife habitat needs
. hydrologic considerations
We will cover techniques but also organizing and funding cooperative
efforts. There will be invited panels of experts, volunteer papers, plus
discussions among panelists, speakers and audience.
We wish to make this workshop as practical and relevant as possible to
meet the needs of practitioners and help solve problems associated with
achieving restoration goals. We invite your participation and suggestions
on topics and speakers. Also, please forward this announcement to
potentially interested colleagues. Contact Dr. Richardson if you would
like to present a paper. A title and abstract should be submitted by March
1, 2008.

Anyone concerned with researching and/or conducting restoration, including
representatives from federal, state, and local agencies, non-governmental
organizations, and academic or research institutions.
