Welcome to the Texas Society for Ecological Restoration
2008 Texas conference information Click here
Founded in 1995, the Texas Society for Ecological Restoration is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing connectivity between individuals engaged in ecologically sensitive repair and management of ecosystems. Texas SER is one of 14 chapters worldwide of the Society for Ecological Restoration International, which has members in 37 countries. Texas SER is made up of researchers, practitioners, growers, land managers and teachers from across the state. We have joined together to ensure the long-term survival of native and endemic ecotypes, and promote a sustainable human culture which can involve itself intelligently and productively with these systems.
"The problem, then, is how to bring about a striving for harmony with a land among a people many of whom have forgotten there is any such thing as land, among whom education and culture have become almost synonymous with landlessness."
-- Aldo Leopold
While a complete solution to this problem may continue to elude us, it is clear that a reformulation of what we mean by education must be the first step in moving towards a sustainable relationship with the land. To achieve this, Texas SER facilitates restoration through outdoor education.
