The Ecological Restoration Institute is Northern Arizona University’s research partner that mobilizes the unique assets of the university to help solve the current problems facing todays forest systems. More than ever, we need to understand the unique features and health of our Western American forests for their future protection. Severe wildfires, climate change and other factors have contributed to the decline of our treasured forests and the ERI is the leading informant and connector for researchers, land managers, communities and policy makers. This site needed to be content-rich and speak to the diversity of its audience, reflect a scholarly nature, while also being easy to navigate and accessible. We loved working with the team at ERI who is devoted to helping to make our planet a better place for generations to come.
