The workshop organizers hope to host a follow-up workshop in the New York metro area. They are currently seeking funding to host 12 Ukrainian professionals at Cook College and Brooklyn Botanical Garden this year. The Kiev meeting was supported by National Science Foundation funds, administered by the U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation. Dr. Mosyakin has just arrived here for a three month visit as a Research Scholar, to further the collaboration. The Center for Urban Restoration Ecology conducts research and teaching on the ecological foundation underpinning attempts to rebuild natural communities on damaged or degraded lands.
Field work is done throughout the metro area, and elsewhere.
