An applied ecology course that is designed for those interested in becoming professional ecologists. In keeping with the Ecological Society of America's Professional Ecologist Certification and the Society for Ecological Restoration's Certification Programme, the core vehicle is a 7-10 day field trip that involves on-site discussions of the successes and challenges of ecological restoration and/or conservation projects with practitioners. Normally, these projects are located in the Carolinian Zone and have some focus on coastal areas of Lake Erie. The course will provide a platform for learning the advanced and professional principles of restoration and conservation ecology and the restoration of ecosystem services.

u/Neshwoo: “It's fine for the most part but it may affect your osap and your stream. What program are you in? If you dropped core courses, some programs in env only offer them once a year.”

u/Fickle_ficus: “… Courses like ERS 340, ERS 341, & ERS 342 are each worth the equivalent to 3 courses during non-covid years (I think ERS 340 was worth 2 courses over the summer). …”
