Spotlight on ecological restoration

This autumn quarter the University of Washington offers many courses that touch on restoration ecology. From survey courses such as ESRM 101 (Forests and Society) to SEFS 525 (Current Topics in Phytoremediation) and beyond, more than twenty different courses will bring ecological restoration resources to the forefront for hundreds of UW students and researchers in the College of the Environment this quarter.

To support this work, the Miller Library will be highlighting some favorite ecological restoration journals and books, including the University of Wisconsin's journal Ecological Restoration, archived online for those with University of Washington credentials. Browse and borrow from the display, which includes many popular resources such as Isabella Tree's Wilding (pictured), on the journal shelf near the library's north windows. Anyone can also use our online catalog to see recommended resources and registered borrowers can place holds to check out specific titles.

Tea and Trees exhibit opens this week

Two Lopez Island Artists share their art inspired by trees they have known and loved. Terri Roush explores color and form through kiln-formed glass. Linda Vorobik shows her hand-painted silk panels of some of her favorite trees along with her botanical watercolors, line drawings, and scraperboard ink drawings.

At a 5-7 pm reception in the library on Thursday, October 3, the artists will welcome visitors with a selection of hot and cold teas.
