Habitat restoration is an exciting real-life process that can extend through the K–12 curriculum and beyond, incorporating science, math, social studies, language arts, and related arts. We invite teachers, informal educators, natural resource professionals, families, and students to participate in a summer one-week Earth Partnership Institute. They will learn the 10-step ecological restoration pr

ocess as a broad environmental context for teaching and learning about their natural and cultural communities. Graduate credit is available through the UW–Madison Department of Curriculum and Instruction. Through EP Institutes, you will discover how restoring native ecosystems:

• Invigorate your school and community through interdisciplinary learning experiences and citizen science approaches for all ages
• Enhance community awareness, skills, and knowledge of stewardship actions to enhance biodiversity and prevent pollution
• Connect youth to culture and place while teaching ecological and environmental issues and solutions
• Inspire a personal understanding of one’s relationship with others and the natural world

Each institute is place-based and responsive to the community and culture. The Indigenous Arts and Sciences and Latino Earth Partnership initiatives are culturally inclusive and designed in collaboration with participating communities. Earth Partnership Learning from the Land provides summer restoration and leadership training for middle- and high-school youth.
