Grassland Restoration Best Management Practices

In this virtual presentation, Val Deziel, Director of Restoration Programs at Forests Canada, explores the importance of grasslands in providing critical ecosystem functions, including air cleansing, water filtration, carbon capture, and sustainable grazing. Val discusses the conservation of native grassland landscapes and effective restoration practices essential for maintaining habitat, biodiversity, and ecosystem function in multiple-use landscapes. Drawing from her extensive experience with The Nature Conservancy of Canada and her background in Restoration Ecology, Val shares insights on protecting and restoring tallgrass prairie communities, enhancing forest interior habitats, and engaging communities in habitat stewardship. Watch the recording to learn about the best practices in grassland restoration and the techniques used to rejuvenate degraded ecosystems into flourishing native habitats. This presentation is part of the Kemptville Winter Woodlot Conference, which offers free, virtual forestry and woodland management seminars every Wednesday throughout February.
