WELCOME
The _Wildlife Habitat Council_ (http://www.wildlifehc.org/) ’s (WHC) 
Restoring Greenspace 2007 conference is quickly approaching. This series of 
conferences is designed to help participants strategize the necessary problem-solving 
steps in making ecological enhancements a reality. The conference will focus on 
the incorporation of ecological reuse practices in site restoration in U.S. 
EPA Region 4. 
For the first time, _Continuing Education Units_ 
(http://www.wildlifehc.org/events/restoringgreenspace_agenda.cfm)  (CEU) will be offered for those 
attending the conference. CEUs are a nationally recognized method of quantifying time 
spent during professional development and training activities and can be 
submitted as proof of continuing education to state licensing boards and 
employers. They are important for documenting career enhancing activities, and earned 
units will be based on actual instruction time at the event. Ten (10) hours of 
instruction equal one (1) CEU. Both workshops and the conference will be 
offered for continuing education credits through the University of Georgia Fanning 
Institute with no charge for this service.  
_Jimmy Palmer_ 
(http://www.wildlifehc.org/events/restoringgreenspace_news.cfm) , Regional Administrator of EPA’s southeast region will provide opening 
remarks at the conference. “As we encourage communities to achieve their economic 
goals through responsible development, land revitalization and restoration of 
contaminated sites are vital components of success,” said Palmer. “Through 
partnerships with state and local governments, other federal agencies, 
corporations, non-profit organizations, and academia, revitalization and restoration 
efforts will allow us to pass on to the next generation a healthier, safer, more 
prosperous world.” 
NEW PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
WHC will offer _two pre-conference workshops_ 
(http://www.wildlifehc.org/events/restoringgreenspace_agenda.cfm)  with leading experts on Monday, May 21, 
2007. These workshops will set the stage for the main goals of the conference 
and familiarize participants with unique and improved techniques of ecological 
enhancements.  
Throughout the following two days of Restoring Greenspace 2007, _breakout 
sessions_ (http://www.wildlifehc.org/events/restoringgreenspace_agenda.cfm)  will 
focus on wetlands, managing liability and community engagement to name just a 
few key topics. Remediation of contaminated wetlands poses additional 
challenges to environmental managers, regulators and conservation organizations. Our 
nation’s coastal and freshwater wetlands are critical for both biodiversity 
and local economies thereby the stakes are high for successful remediation.  
Two breakout sessions will focus on varying _wetlands issues_ 
(http://www.wildlifehc.org/events/restoringgreenspace_agenda.cfm) . North American Wetland 
Engineering (NAWE) will share the successes and challenges of a passive 
treatment system at an NPL site in New York. NAWE is the leader in the decentralized 
water and wastewater industry, providing innovative and ecological solutions 
for industrial, residential and municipal clients. Ducks Unlimited, Inc. will 
discuss one of the largest estuarine habitat restoration projects currently 
underway in the United States. Also hear from AMEC Earth and Environmental, 
Florida Department of Environmental Protection and NOAA Restoration Center.
