10 What is Ecological Restoration? Ecological awareness that motivates individuals to positively interact with their natural environment. This can be as simple as planting native species around your house to restoring a complete prairie ecosystem.
11 What is the Value of Ecological Restoration? Protects our food supply chain Protects natural resource industries Enhances outdoor recreation Preserves endangered ecosystems Enhances the earth s biodiversity Enables a connection between people and their natural world Facilitates deeper relationships among people working in nature Deepens spiritual health and cultural identity Enhances ecological services such as clean air and clean water Improves physical health & emotional well-being

42 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? If we hadn t started when we did, we would have nothing to look at today. ~ Wisconsin Landowner

47 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? High Cliff State Park
48 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? This guy is a nut case!
49 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? Why does one man see his land as an extension of his family & another sees it only as property? How does one come to view land through an ecological lens rather than just an economic one? What motivates a person to invest resources into ecological restoration? Does ecological restoration provide value to all of us?
50 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? wild columbine reemerges after buckthorn removal
51 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? Nostalgia a sense of loss; we ll never see what the first settlers described 1832 Original Survey Notes
52 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? A desire to return family lands back to what they were when I was a child Historic 1937 Aerial Photo
53 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? Witnessing ecological erosion over a lifetime, and the desire to preserve some natural heritage for future generations
54 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? Recognizing the privilege of land ownership and the sense of responsibility of being a good land steward
55 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? An early account of the Wisconsin Landscape The natural resources of Wisconsin are almost unlimited and nothing is wanted but the hand of cultivation to make it the garden of the world. The general face of the country is beautiful in the extreme In traveling over Wisconsin, one cannot but admire the scenery even when no traces of cultivation are visible. There is a softness and beauty in the landscape which is indescribable and which the hand of art will fail to improve. ~ Albert G. Tuttle, 1847
56 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? An early account of the Wisconsin Landscape I had heard of oak openings but I did not suppose they were pleasant groves, beautiful beyond description. I have made several hunting excursions on foot and have been at such times 6 or 7 miles from Madison and many times when all alone have exclaimed, What a splendid country is this! The groves in this state of wildness have all the attractions of the choicest and carefully dressed ones of the east. I have seen many not a whit inferior in beauty to Hillhouse s at New Haven. The fires do the clearing away of whatever brush or shrubs appear from year to year. ~ Albert G. Tuttle, 1847
57 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? Survey results of landowners Landowner responses touched on all of the why restore categories listed previously Not one why restore category Nearly all landowners cited two why restore categories 1. Good land stewardship 2. Preserving natural heritage for future generations
58 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? Survey results of landowners In the beginning we were not serious about the restoration process, but when we saw how the plants and animals responded to our efforts, we began to see we had a responsibility to save what is remaining. ~Wisconsin landowner
59 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? Ecological restoration defines who we are It acknowledges people and nature are one
60 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? Connections with people and nature are all that lasts Caring for the land allows us to connect to the world
61 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? Giving back to the land satisfies the basic need to be needed Today, the land needs us
62 Why do we strive for Ecosystem health? The real value of ecological restoration We restore to correct the ecological ignorance of our past. Not to place blame on our predecessors, but to embrace and celebrate what we have learned, and to demonstrate our greatest human strengths of discovery, creativity and love. ~ Environmental Returns blog, Feb. 9, 2017
