Restoration Process Restoring Nature Course Elements Restoration progress is visible in the Pitzer Outback Preserve. This collaborative restoration project continues to build community, strengthen biodiversity and support the survival of a sensitive ecosystem that exists on the Pitzer College campus. Diverse restoration activities have occurred in the Outback Preserve. Site analysis and planning, meetings with restoration experts, plant research, weekly field work, and individual student research and projects combine to create a successful restoration process. On-site restoration work includes: GIS mapping of the Outback Preserve, eradication of invasive species, installation of restoration planting plots, planting of appropriate native plant species, seed saving, propagation of native plants, installation of seating areas and benches, design and installation of signage, and trail improvements. The photographs shown here document aspects of the restoration process that have occurred since 2010.
