landscape restoration
Healing damaged terrain
Landscape restoration is the process of returning degraded, damaged, or destroyed ecosystems to a healthier or more natural state.
It encompasses reforestation, wetland recovery, prairie reconstruction, and similar efforts: The nonprofit focuses on landscape restoration along the river corridor.
The term often implies large-scale intervention—not just planting a garden but rehabilitating entire watersheds, forests, or grasslands.
Restoration may aim to recreate historical conditions or simply improve ecological function.
