Niagara College

Description:

Working with living things presents some specific challenges. In this course, you will address the vegetation management strategies needed to restore a site, including the intricacies of supply, timing and site preparation. Emphasis will be placed on methods that will provide the large quantities of appropriate plant material essential to a successful restoration project. You will have an opportunity to collect, clean, break dormancy and plant native seeds. You should also sharpen your secateurs so you are ready to practice vegetative propagation and understand its application in restoration. An immersive Field camp experience will allow us to gather baseline data, network with community partners and engage in restoration initiatives beyond Niagara.
