The Value of Ecological Restoration

​

​David Cordray, owner of Environmental Returns LLC, will discuss the value of ecological restoration. Cordray will share a brief summary of his journey to finding ecological awareness and explore reasons why we strive for ecological health, how our work benefits others and how we can influence a greater ecological awareness.

Cordray’s first career was in the field of environmental-monitoring satellites. He left engineering in 2008 to work in the fledgling field of restoration ecology. Since 2001, he and his wife, Debra, have been actively restoring their 100 acres to prairie and oak savanna. Between his business and his own property, David can be found in the field daily managing invasive species, leading prescribed fires and facilitating other restoration activities.
​
This repeated and continuous exposure to rare and endangered ecosystems has greatly heightened David’s insight into why we must actively participate in restoring the health of our lands.
