Innovative Strategies to Restore Degraded Forested Riparian Buffers

Come learn about a socio-ecological reconciliation project at Shelburne Farms aimed to mitigate phosphorus pollution, increase pollinator habitat, facilitate Abenaki land access, foster local ecoliteracy, and restore degraded forested Riparian Buffers. Hear about the six year pilot and two year next-level project taking place at Shelburne Farms. Data from two years of the current study will be shared along with site history, methodology, socio-ecological reconciliation principles, community collaborations, and context within the larger restoration and regenerative agriculture movements. 

This evening program begins with a presentation from site project leader and restoration ecologist Jess Rubin of Mycoevolve and Myco-phytoremediation Intern Ruth Stumpfoll. We will leave plenty of time for questions.
