Land Acknowledgement
The Society for Ecological Restoration honors and acknowledges that the 11th World Conference on Ecological Restoration, SER2025, is taking place on the traditional and unceded territories of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Peoples. We pay respect to elders past, present, and emerging, and all those who have stewarded and cared for these lands and waters for generations. We recognize, value and will continue to learn from the deeply held connections and relationship between Indigenous communities and nature.
