Good project planning with volunteer, agency and community leaders leads to successful restoration events
WildPlaces takes a lead role in organizing the stakeholders, partnering with them to determine a comprehensive, ecosystem based restoration strategy. Once a plan is in place, WildPlaces recruits volunteers from the community to get their hands dirty and do the work. Throughout the process our project partners offer guidance and a portion of the necessary resources. Organizations that we currently partner with include the Audubon Society, The Nature Conservancy, Bureau of Land Management, United States Forest Service, National Park Service, Sierra Nevada Alliance and the Southern Sierra Research Station.
Restoration is not a one-time event, each project must be monitored and augmented over time. WildPlaces commits an average of three to five years for every project. This allows us to build a network of concerned community members that will help continue the restoration process as well as deepen local awareness of and commitment to their natural environment.
