I’m Patrick, an Arborist and private forester in Crested Butte, Colorado, USA. I’m currently working towards a Master in Environmental Management and a Masters of Science in Ecology, with a Certificate in Ecological Restoration from Western Colorado University in Gunnison, CO. I'll hopefully graduate this coming spring 😅. For my MEM project, I helped set up a pre and post- monitoring plan for a Gunnison Sage-grouse wet meadows habitat restoration project we did installing rock Zeedyk structures, post-assisted log structures (PALS), wicker-wires, etc. For my MSE project, I’m currently working on a literature review researching upland restoration in arid and semi-arid regions.
I looked into SER when I started my masters programs, but didn’t get involved until the world conference in Denver this year.
I currently own my own tree care and forestry company and would like to expand into doing more holistic, regenerative land management. I would love to be a part of this community to connect with and learn from my peers, and possibly find potential collaborators. I hope to see you all at the next conference!
Thanks for your leadership Enzo!

Hello everyone! Nice to meet/ see you all. My name is Isabel Pratten, I live in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. I am affiliated with the Colorado State University SER Student Chapter. I worked for Mark Paschke's Restoration Ecology lab two summers ago, and he asked me if I was interested in getting involved with the world conference. Then I was lucky enough to join the local SEP committee, and here I am! I'm graduating with my B.S. in Restoration Ecology and a minor in GIS this upcoming May. And this fuzzy little creature is my cat Twinkle Toes!
Hi Everyone! My name is Aurora Uribe Camalich. I am a Mexican Environmental Biologist currently studying my Master's degree in Environmental Risk Management at the University of Glasgow. With this Degree I am incorporating the component of Risk, stemming from both natural and human hazards, into my approach for ecosystem restoration.
I am quite interested and have experience with wetlands, shallow lakes, social-ecological systems and community-based projects.
I am currently part of the SER Student and Emerging Professionals Committee, working to encourage and integrate Latin American youth in the SER. I got involved with SER when I attended the North American Conference last year, where I presented my research "Evaluation of Lake Cuitzeo’s Eastern Basin Socio Ecological System for the development of a restoration project".
The picture is me when I was doing field work for said research at Lake Cuitzeo :D
Bonjour tout le monde!
My name is Audréanne Loiselle, I am a French Canadian and I am currently a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the provincial ministry of the environment in the province of Québec (Canada). It is quite a peculiar position in which my role is primarily to be a scientific advisor to the ministry and ensure communication between academia, legislators and practitioners, all in the field of wetland restoration!
I got involved in SER in 2023 as I started by first postdoc on wetland restoration with Université Laval and took part to the congress in Québec city!
If others also work on wetland restoration, I would love to exchange on that matter 😊
Cheers !
