Society For Ecological Restoration (SER)

The Society is infused with the energy of more than 2,000 members who are actively engaged in the ecologically-sensitive repair and management of ecosystems - scientists, planners, designers, administrators, practitioners, consultants, researchers, students, indigenous peoples, landscape architects, philosophers, teachers, engineers, natural areas managers, nursery workers, community activists, writers and volunteers, among others. Incorporated in 1988, SER now has members in over 71 countries and all 50 United States, with 13 chapters serving regions of North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. The Society is recognized by both the public and private sectors as the preeminent source of expertise on ecological restoration science, policy, and practice, and advances its mission through collaborations with partner organizations and international bodies, such as the IUCN, CBD, and Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
