Though the restoration of disturbed ecosystems has so far played a relatively modest role in the effort to conserve biological diversity, there are reasons to suspect that its role will increase and that its contribution to the maintenance of diversity will ultimately prove crucial as techniques are further refined and as pristine areas for preservation become scarcer and more expensive.
It is now possible to restore a number of North American communities with some confidence. However, it should be noted that many current efforts to return degraded lands to productive use, like attempts to reclaim land disturbed by mining, try only for rehabilitation to a socially acceptable condition and fall considerably short of actually restoring a native ecological community.
Possible uses for restoration in the conservation of biodiversity include not only the creation of habitat on derelict sites, but also techniques for enlarging and redesigning existing reserves. Restoration may even make it possible to move reserves entirely in response to long-term events, such as changes in climate. Restoration in the form of reintroduction of single species to preexisting or restored habitat is also a critical link in programs to conserve species ex situ in the expectation of eventually returning them to the wild. And restoration provides opportunities to increase diversity through activities as diverse as management of utility corridors, transportation rights-of-way, and parks.

This looks like a simple fall flower pot. But, this pansy-planted container has a deeply buried secret.
Here's a fast and rewarding way to plant a container with cool-weather annuals that naturally make way for spring daffodils. We made these with the kids in our ornamental horticulture 4H project and I think the kids are going to be pleasantly surprised when what they planted underneath their pansies show up in the spring!
What You'll Need:
- Medium sized pot or container
- Potting soil
- Coffee filter (Optional)
- Organic fertilizer (Optional)
- 7 Daffodil (Narcissus) bulbs
- 6 pack of cool-weather annuals such as pansies (Viola) or snapdragons (Antirrhinum)
Plant Your Double Planted Flower Pot
1. If you have a coffee filter, you can place it at the bottom of your flower pot. The filter isn't a necessity by any means, but it helps keep the soil in while letting the water drain out. Now, fill the container with about 3″ of potting soil.
2. Place the bulbs into the pot, doing your best to keep the bulb sides from touching each other. It's not a deal-breaker if they do touch but it's better to have a little soil in-between the bulbs.
3. Now fill the rest of the container with potting soil. At this point, if you'd like to sprinkle some organic bulb fertilizer into the soil, you can do that now — but again, it isn't a big deal if you don't.
4. Gently plant your cool-weather annuals into the pot. When you're making the hole into the soil with your fingers, feel for a spot that's in-between the daffodil bulbs. Plant as many in there as you'd like (or as many as you can fit), tap down the soil & water.
Enjoy your fall flowers and as they die back or stop blooming, your daffodil leaves will be waking up for the spring. Don't be surprised if your pansies remain alive & re-bloom again, too.

Fly to Big Sky Country and Play Among the Stars
The following is a sponsored post from Kelly McCandless with the Billings, Montana Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Everyone has a bucket list. It may not be a physical list, but you've got your list of things you know you want to see and do in your lifetime.
My own is about a mile long and would take me around the world. But lucky for me, I live right smack dab in the bucket of all buckets: Montana.
Just the name of this incredible state ignites excitement and anticipation in travelers. The celebrated beauty and wide open spaces inspire awe in the bellies of anyone courted by this alluring state. Her spectacular, unspoiled nature entices even the most unfamiliar visitor to add her to their bucket list.
She boasts charming small towns with truly local flavor, found on back roads and under the biggest of big skies in this country. Montana's fresh mountain air and forever views follow you no matter where you go. And once you arrive, you feel right at home –which is why so many people opt to stay and even more return time and again to experience all this wonder-filled destination has to offer.
Therein lays Billings – Montana's Trailhead.
Enter below to win 2 airline tickets to Billings, Montana and cross Yellowstone off your bucket list!
Whether you are seeking adrenaline pumping adventure or easy paced experiences, this is the place in Montana perfect for starting your journey. It offers exceptional air service, is affordable and is accessible from most any direction. It is ideal for setting up your home base and venturing off to enjoy the variety surrounding it. And, you can choose the experience that best fits you – historical, outdoorsy, performing arts, and more. Customize your Big Sky adventure!
Just 50 short miles away find the land where General Custer fought the Sioux and Cheyenne: Little Bighorn Battlefield. 25 miles away, walk the path of the Lewis and Clark Expedition at Pompeys Pillar National Monument. Venture through eastern Montana to Dinosaur Country where you'll stumble into prehistoric history of magnificent size and incredible age at every turn.
And, of course, there is Yellowstone National Park, America's first National Park and a bucket list destination all on its own.
From Billings, the most beautiful entrance to Yellowstone is just a one hour drive through the pleasant small town of Red Lodge to the Beartooth Highway. The highway itself is legendary, and your experience in Yellowstone will surely compare.
But Billings also offers so much on its own. Whether you want the local experience or feel more comfortable with national brands, Billings fits the bill.

Authentic Leadership Tip:
I know you may have the title of leader, however that doesn't automatically make you one.
You must know this: You cannot lead those whose trust you have not earned!
I realize that some folks don't believe we evolved…everyone to there own.
That being said there is another side to evolution worth considering; that being, are we still evolving?
Over the last twenty or so years, it has become clear that the answer is a resounding YES! The scientific evidence says that as humans have evolved our brain does not work the way the brain of our ancestors did. As part of this ongoing evolution we have created within our brains a specific type of neuron called "mirror neurons." These neurons give us the desire to understand and empathize with one another.
It is our ability to (mostly unconsciously) fire off our mirror neurons that give us a way to connect with others whom we we otherwise dismiss. This in turn, despite what we might tell ourselves, gives us a natural propensity to trust.
A word of caution though: Trust is not automatic, nor is it "blind" (I.E: because of status), but rather it is accumulated. Meaning those neurons don't just fire off once and then you've got built in trust.
Guess what? For trust to actually "stick" it requires Authenticity, Transparency, Accountability. (or simply put for you to become a Full Monty Leader)
As you can see, it's only logical that in an economic era where organizations are scrambling to hold on to their top people, creating an environment that breeds loyalty must become a top priority.
As leaders you and I both know: Throwing money at the problem and competing on salary no longer cuts it. As leaders we must create a Corporate Culture that is an environment that generates trust, because trust based on Authenticity, Transparency, Accountability enforces loyalty not only among your team, but also your customers.
Bottom line is…Trust breeds loyalty and in turn brings prosperity. This happens because there is a deepened sense of connection that enhances performance, birthing high achievers in your organization.
Remember this: An Authentic Leader is always creating a culture of leaders.
The more Authentic, Transparent and Accountable you are, the more trusted you will be!
