The reality of an ailing planet can be demoralizing, but both science and practice are giving a growing cadre of professionals the knowledge and tools to repair at least some of the damage. Matt will introduce the science and practice of ecological restoration and bring uplifting tales of a healing planet.
Matt is the Senior Biologist for the City of Austin Water Quality Protection Lands where he and colleagues are working to restore 11,000 acres of conservation land. Some days are active, others are administrative, and some days he’s just trying to fix whatever equipment he inadvertently broke the day before.
