Bothell Campus
Teams take a restoration plan developed in BES 463 and complete the installation. Team participation may include supervision of volunteers. Teams prepare management guidelines for the client and conduct a training class for their use. Prerequisite: BES 463. Offered: jointly with ENVIR/ESRM/TESC 464.
Class description
SPRING 2005 - BES 464, RESTORATION ECOLOGY CAPSTONE III
Students can expect to learn the fundamentals of restoration project implementation in the field within a team context. This can include site preparation, planting, plant material collection and acquisition, grant-writing, supervision of volunteer assistance, implementation of educational directives, etc. - essentially anything that was included in the detailed work plan generated and approved last quarter in BES 463. Students will also learn how to prepare a realistic, creative, and effective maintenance and monitoring plan and train their client in this regard.
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
SPRING 2005 - Students will work in teams with supervision of teaching assistants and instructors. Class meetings will be mostly limited to 30-minutes team meetings with instructors - most of the time will be spent in the field in project implementation. CLASS MEETINGS ARE HELD AT THE CENTER FOR URBAN HORTICULTURE AT THE UW SEATTLE CAMPUS. A final evening symposium for project presentation at the end of the quarter is required.
Recommended preparation
SPRING 2005 - You may take this course ONLY if you have completed BES 463 successfully the previous quarter. This is the last of a 3-quarter sequence.
Class assignments and grading
SPRING 2005 - Most work will be in the field, implementing the project. Additionally, there will be a web site and a maintenance and monitoring plan required.
SPRING 2005 - Grades are based on instructor review of restoration installation in the field, web site, maintenance and monitoring plan, project presentation at the final symposium and in class, and a final as-built report modifying your original work plan to reflect what actually happened in the field. Grades are assigned on a GROUP basis for all assignments (all students in a group receive the same grade) with some modification of final individual grades based upon peer effort evaluation feedback at the end of the quarter.
