Check our new publication in Conservation Letters! We follow up on Karen Holl and colleague's past work on developing guidelines for forest landscape restoration and tree planting by reviewing public information from 99 large NGOs in which we analyze the results of an online survey to determine how closely private tree-growing campaigns adhere to published best practices. The work has also been reported on by our university.

I recently returned from my first involvement at the "Islas" project field site in southern Costa Rica. In addition to sampling permeant plots, we initiated discussion and planning for future study of seed dispersal interactions and recruitment feedback dynamics in the long-term restoration experiments to expand upon previous studies of avian biodiversity and behavioral observations.
