About the Book

Project Planning and Management for Ecological Restoration addresses a problem that is the reason many restoration projects are not as effective or successful as they could be: a lack of understanding of the principles of sound planning and management. The authors provide a framework for developing and executing an ecological restoration project in order to maximize its potential for success.

About the Author :
John Rieger is a long-time practicing restoration ecologist, and cofounder and first president of the Society for Ecological Restoration. For the past thirty years he has actively promoted restoration throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. John Stanley is a cofounder of the Society for Ecological Restoration and a restoration ecologist with WWW Restoration, a consulting firm specialising in the protection, restoration, and management of watersheds, waterways, and wetlands. Ray Traynor, with a background in landscape architecture and project management, is vice president and general manager of Axiom Xcell.

Review :
"Adding to an already rich series on ecological restoration texts, Island Press delivers this book chock-filled with over 100 years of accumulated knowledge and on-the-ground experiences by three luminaries in the field of ecological restoration. With a focus on project management Rieger, Stanley, and Traynor effectively bring the philosophical, ecological, and social aspects of ecological restoration to a practical reality. Students, practitioners, and, yes, even philosophers stand to benefit from reading this book."
--Nik Lopoukhine "Past Chair of Society for Ecological Restoration" "I have seen many well-meaning restoration projects fail due to poor planning, but that need never happen again. The authors lend over a century of combined experience in ecological restoration design at a variety of scales to describe the detailed analysis and planning process necessary for successful project design, implementation, maintenance, and evaluation."
--Steve Windhager "Executive Director, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden" "Whether you are a restoration practitioner, student or researcher, this is a necessary handbook of guidelines for all aspects of restoration and management. Nonspecialists and ecologists alike can readily take in the complexities of planning, risk management, and goal setting for regenerating ecosystems. Case studies and flow diagrams are presented to bring the world of planning to life."
--Edith B. Allen "Professor, Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, University of California, Riverside" "This sorely needed book presents a comprehensive view of restoration project management from a biological perspective. It will be especially useful to those now entering the field of ecological restoration as practitioners. I wish I had this book when I began my career as a practicing restorationist."
--Tom Griggs "Senior Restoration Ecologist, River Partners"
