We invite all interested parties to submit an abstract for an oral 
presentation or poster to be presented at the second Annual Chapter Meeting 
of the Midwest-Great Lakes Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration 
International (SER). The meeting is scheduled for April 9 and 10, 2010 and 
will be held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum in Madison, 
Wisconsin.

The Midwest-Great Lakes Chapter is a regional SER chapter that serves a 
six-state region of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and 
Minnesota. Our mission is to promote the science and practice of ecological 
restoration to assist with the recovery and management of degraded 
ecosystems throughout the Midwestern and Great Lakes region of the United 
States. Our theme for this meeting is an exploration of how the past, the 
present, and the future influence ecological restoration in the midwestern 
United States. Restoration projects are implemented as a result of historic 
degadation, current environmental problems, emerging environmental threats, 
or a combination of all. The success of ecological restoration projects are 
determined by the current and past ecological conditions, management 
regimes, and socioeconomic environment. Given that the meeting site is 
considered to be the birthplace of ecological restoration we want to take 
the opportunity to reflect on the past, consider the present, and look 
towards the future of ecological restoration in the region. We welcome 
abstracts that are directly related to the meeting theme and abstracts 
involving any ecological restoration topic from all individuals, 
institutions, and disciplines involved in ecological restoration.

Oral presentations will be scheduled in 15 minute segments. More details 
related to audiovisual formats for oral presentations and space requirements 
for poster presentations will be provided at a later date. The deadline for 
submission of abstracts for oral and poster presentations is February 19, 
2010. Abstracts will be reviewed and authors will be notified of acceptance 
status by March 5, 2010. Abstracts will be limited to 250 words.

Abstracts need to be submitted via email to the following email address 
(mwgl.ser at gmail.com) with the author information and abstract attached as a 
Microsoft Word file (Microsoft Word 2003 or earlier files only - *.doc) or 
Rich Text Format (*.rtf). We will not accept Microsoft Word 2007 (*.docx) 
documents.  The subject line of your email should read "MWGL SER Annual 
Meeting Abstract". Alternatively, if email submission is not an option for 
you then you may FAX your abstract to Katherine Martin at 330-263-3658 or 
mail to Katherine Martin, School of Environment and Natural Resources, The 
Ohio State University, 1680 Madison Avenue, Wooster, Ohio 44691.
