Mesic Restoration Network Mission Statement
Restoration Network for Rangeland Mesic Ecosystems in Idaho and Oregon
Description
The Restoration Network is made up of practitioners and scientists actively engaged in mesic ecosystem restoration in rangelands of Idaho and Oregon.
Mission
The mission of the Restoration Network is to provide structure for information sharing and relationship building about experiences and approaches to mesic restoration in the Intermountain West. A wide variety of practitioners are implementing mesic restoration projects across the landscape, fueled by large investments from federal agencies. Information sharing and synergistic work across efforts should greatly improve projects’ success, because it will lead to innovations and resource sharing among the various organizations and practitioners.
Activities
Activities are driven and led by the needs of the participants. In an initial meeting of the sub-group of the Network, we decided to start with a series of virtual 1-hour discussion meetings that focus on a variety of topics of interest to the group.
Focal Region and Membership
The focal region for the Restoration Network is southern and central Idaho and eastern Oregon. This is a public network, and anyone can participate, but group discussion and activities will stay focused on the focal region to keep aligned with the group’s mission.
Leadership and group history
The Restoration Network is facilitated by Boise State University (Jodi Brandt, Emily Iskin, Nick Kolarik). The Restoration Network was created in June 2024 to provide a structure for collaboration and information sharing among practitioners and scientists active in mesic restoration in the semi-arid regions of Oregon and Idaho.
