Welcome to the Society for Ecological Restoration,
Ontario Chapter, CANADA
SER Ontario is part of an
international organization committed to the ecologically sensitive repair and management
of ecosystems. While the focus of our efforts is the Ontario region, we strive to
share ideas and initiatives across borders and around the globe.
Our mission: To promote the practice of ecological
restoration and provide educational opportunities and materials for members and for the
community at large. We, in collaboration with the central
SER body, are committed to the development of ecological restoration as a science, art
and conservation strategy.
Members of SER Ontario receive
a quarterly newsletter from SER International (now available on-line),
a copy of the current SERO Native Plant Guide, and access
to all SERO activities. In addition, members receive
all the benefits of membership to the international SER body (for more
information visit www.ser.org).
