Finally, I wanted to draw attention to the Society for Ecological Restoration's upcoming conference and their Make a Difference Week hub. There are a variety of volunteer restoration opportunities across the country (and world!) leading up to the conference.
To see if there is an event in your area, go to their website and click either "Event Map" or "Event Listing" at the bottom of the page:</div>
