Students in this online course explore the people, places, and practices that restore nature and revitalize neighborhoods. Civic ecology practices – such as community gardening, stream restoration, tree planting, litter cleanups, oyster restoration, and constructing bioswale or memorial gardens — are a means for communities to rebuild and express resilience in places impacted by environmental degradation, poverty, and crime, and after natural disaster and conflict.
