The seminars are, of necessity, interdisciplinary in nature. They merge concepts and techniques from a number of disciplines in order to develop optimal approaches for the restoration of lands and waters to more natural ecological conditions. The seminars are taught by experienced instructors who are professionally involved in planning and carrying out restoration projects and thus provide knowledge of up-to-date methods, thought processes, and ways of restoring lost ecological processes and cover to land- and waterscapes.
