Call for Abstracts for Oral and Poster Presentations Now Open!

The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER), a non-profit professional organization with members in more than 70 countries, is now accepting abstracts for oral and poster presentations at its 5th World Conference on Ecological Restoration, to be held October 6-11, 2013 in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.

We welcome abstracts from restoration practitioners, researchers, and advocates addressing any aspect of ecological restoration, especially those that directly relate to the conference theme, Reflections on the Past, Directions for the Future.  

The final deadline for abstract submissions is May 1, 2013. Program space is limited, however, and the Scientific Program Committee will review submissions on a rolling basis. We therefore encourage you to submit your abstract as soon as possible.  

Please visit the conference website for more information and a link to the online submission form: http://www.ser2013.org/program/call-for-abstracts/

In addition to the four-day program of scientific sessions, the conference will offer trainings, workshops, and restoration-related field trips in the days immediately before and after the program. Conference partners include the Aldo Leopold Foundation, the International Crane Foundation, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, and the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

We hope you will join us as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Society's founding and the unique significance of the Madison area in the history of ecological restoration.
