Usually the words woody plants seeds and Great Plains do not evoke thoughts of restored ecosystem services. However, there's a new perspective on the horizon. Join Andrew Klein from the Kansas Forest Service to learn about a new approach to riparian woodland restoration in Kansas. This soils first approach is rooted in regenerative agriculture practices; incorporating cover crops, no-till, soil inoculants, and high-density, high-diversity, high-precision direct seeding of trees and shrubs, and is proving to be a faster, more cost-effective way to restore riparian soils to their former capacity for water quality and other ecosystem services. Discover how this method diverges from traditional bare-root seedling and direct seeding practices and how it could be applied to your restoration efforts. Bring your questions and ideas to explore this exciting new direction in seed-based restoration!
