Institution:

Trevecca Nazarene University

Subject:

Description:

The principles of restoration ecology and conservation biology are applied to a stressed urban neighborhood. The interdependent human relations of place, land, and biodiversity are recognized so that degraded ecologic resources may be improved in a sustainable manner. Organic permaculture techniques which are not seasonal will be selected for applicability to the stressed neighborhood. Restoration techniques that have worked well for the United Nations Environmental Project, World Bank and other NGO's will be examined for applicability, implemented, and results measured. Restoration guidelines of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), and the Environmental Protectiion Agency (EPA) will be followed to improve knowledge of these agencies and provide basis for further work and support.
