Research Interests
My research interests are diverse and generally encompass my desire to restore and protect natural ecosystems while recognizing opportunities for local community involvement and education. My Masters thesis is a case study of prairie and oak savanna restoration efforts at the Badger Army Ammunition Plant where volunteer efforts have been critical to conservation. In the future I plan to continue working to balance conservation with local interests through cooperation and education.
Key words:
Terrestrial ecology, restoration ecology, multiple land use planning, volunteerism and citizen science, science and environmental education

My recent teaching has been mostly split between a graduate course in the Land Resources degree program (ES 993) and directing interdisciplinary capstone seminars for undergraduates in the Environmental Studies certificate program (ES 600). Both of these are connected to the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. My affiliate status in the Botany Department allows me to accept students in that program. I also can accept students in the Nelson Institute programs of which the land Resources program and the Conservation Biology and Sustainable Development program are the most relevant to my research.
My teaching responsibilities in an interdisciplinary institute have stimulated my interest in the general topic of interdisciplinarity and its role in solving environmental problems in general and cological problems in particular. My current views on this subject are presented in a class handout prepared for the ES 993 class.
