Edmonds Community College is offering a unique, new two-year degree in Restoration Horticulture that will train students to help restore damaged land, habitat, and ecosystems in a range of rural, suburban, and urban environments. Restoration horticulture techniques include replanting natural areas, stewarding native plant communities, and creating green spaces in urban settings using green roofs, green walls, and bioswales (drainage troughs that filter runoff water).
Courses to be offered include Pacific Northwest Land and Water Issues, Restoration Ecology, and Sustainable Development. Winter classes start Jan. 5 and run through March 20. For more information, visit http://schedule.edcc.edu or call 425-640-1459.
