The UW-Restoration Ecology Network (UW-REN) is a
tri-campus program, serving as a regional center to integrate student, faculty and community interests in ecological restoration and conservation. This program is open to UW students from all disciplines. UW-REN is creating new interdisciplinary curricula and undergraduate research / capstone experiences in the realm of restoration that bridge across the three UW campuses.
The core of the UW-REN mission is to advance higher education in restoration while helping the Pacific Northwest region meet the growing needs and challenges of ecological restoration.

Multidisciplinary student teams from three UW campuses spent eight months working to restore damaged ecosystems for community-based clients across the Puget Sound region. Join us as we celebrate the completion of these collaborative projects and examine the innovative, science-based approaches developed and used by the students. These projects continue an award-winning capstone program, involving over 450 students, 36 community partners, and 76 restoration projects across the last 13 years! We will enjoy refreshments and appetizers as students present posters and share the results of this extraordinary, culminating experience. All are welcome! |
