LRS meets with GRÓ LRT – our ‘big sister’

We had a great time on our video meeting with the Director and Deputy Director of the program that is an inspiration for us and our ‘big sister’ in Iceland, the Land Restoration Training Programme.  GRÓ LRT, founded in 2007, is a program under UNESCO serving countries that need more trained Ecological Restorationists. We both make deep investments in a small number of dynamic new voices in the world of restoration ecology. Iceland began its forest and soil conservation programs in 1907 after centuries of deforestation. There is a lot to learn from our new friends! Together we are planning for LRS restorationists to visit with LRT fellows this summer by video and compare notes.  Follow GRÓ LRT on facebook.
