Becoming a restorationist

Read LRS alumni Emily Sautebin’s delightful article in the Fall 2022 Crossroads newsletter. It begins: “My summer at the Land Restoration School at Crossroads was metamorphic. My love for the environment grew this summer, and I started to see the world around me differently. The passion of my colleagues and teachers was contagious. I was lucky to get to see Crossroads’ fields and forests through their eyes.”

In the newsletter, Board President Jim Stawicki says, “The inaugural year of the Land Restoration School not only trained seven remarkable individuals in the field of ecological restoration, it yielded an equal number of plans authored by these same learners. As capstone projects to their LRS experience, the cohort presented ways to enhance the restoration of select areas on Crossroads’ preserves.” Hopefully we will see those plans, and maybe those restorationists, engaged to continue Crossroads’ restoration work!
