Restoration Conversations

Creator, Producer, Host: Jean Lynch In Episode 2 I speak with Kate Hackett and Brigham Whitman of Delaware Wild Lands and Matt Sarver of Sarver Ecological, about forest and coastal plain pond restoration in a working landscape that is a hotspot for biodiversity. At Taylors Bridge in the Delaware coastal plain, the mosaic of wetlands, early successional habitats, forest, and small-scale farming is designed to support a significant number of regional species of conservation concern throughout the the habitats' successional trajectories.   Delaware Wild Lands:  https://www.facebook.com/DEWildLands/   Instagram: dewildlands   Website: https://dewildlands.org   Sarver Ecological:    https://sarverecological.com/   Society for Ecological Restoration SER advances the science, practice and policy of ecological restoration to sustain biodiversity, improve resilience in a changing climate, and re-establish an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture. https://www.ser.org   SER Mid-Atlantic Chapter https://chapter.ser.org/midatlantic/ SER membership includes a complimentary membership to a chapter.  We'd love you to join the Mid-Atlantic Chapter!    Geese Honking Loudly courtesy USFWS Original music by Savfk (www.youtube.com/savfkmusic www.facebook.com/savfkmusic)
