Dr. Glenn Tobin translates the many studies of Virginia natural communities into practical guidance for ecological restoration and native planting.

From Dr. Tobin's website Natural Ecological Communities of Northern Virginia (novanaturalcommunity.com/):

"In natural settings, plants do not live in random patterns in the landscape. Rather they tend to group into communities. Those “Natural Communities” have patterns and those patterns have been researched for decades by botanists and ecologists.

Natural Community data can and should serve as the basis for establishing the target of ecological restoration—the “end state” that restoration efforts are shooting for. Too many times, restoration efforts lack that target and results suffer. Plants that are added do not thrive; efforts are wasted. In an era where every hour spent on ecological restoration needs to be highly effective, leveraging the best science will yield better results."

This presentation was sponsored by the Virginia Native Plant Society Potowmack Chapter (vnps.org/potowmack) and recorded on September 9, 2021.
