Thematic Sections

SER's Thematic Sections are specialized networks that bring together individuals and organizations interested in particular aspects of ecological restoration. These sections provide platforms for collaboration, resource sharing, and the exchange of knowledge to support the development and application of restoration practices.

Whether focused on seed-based restoration, large-scale ecosystem projects, or natural regeneration, each section offers opportunities to engage with targeted topics and contribute to advancing restoration efforts. Visit the section websites to learn more and get involved.

The International Network for Seed-based Restoration (INSR) brings together professionals, scientists, practitioners, students, industry, government, and community organizations from around the world. Our mission is to foster understanding and advancement in seed ecology, conservation, and seed-based restoration of degraded ecosystems. Through outreach, educational resources, and global discussions, we promote the use of native plant seeds for ecological restoration and rehabilitation!

Established in October 2013, SER's Large-scale Ecosystem Restoration Section (LERS) is dedicated to:

  1. Advancing public education and enlightenment concerning large-scale ecosystem resources.
  2. Providing a forum for an interchange of ideas, approaches, lessons learned, and data relevant to large-scale ecosystem restoration.
  3. Developing and encouraging large-scale ecosystem restoration as a discipline by supporting education, curriculum development, and research.
  4. Encouraging and evaluating the educational, scientific, engineering, and technological development of large-scale ecosystem restoration.

Visit the LERS website for more information, and join us.

The SER- Natural Regeneration Network links members interested in using natural regeneration in restoration. Activities include sharing case studies and contributing to guidelines to advance best practices in ecological restoration.
