University of Nevada, Reno Student Chapter The Restoration Ecology Club at the University of Nevada, Reno, aims to provide educational and networking opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students interested in restoration ecology through field trips, workshops, and volunteer events. We host events or meetings every month, where our members can meet and network with restoration practitioners and scientists, while also providing hands-on experience with the planning and implementation of projects. We were founded in Fall 2021, and have already organized numerous field trips and volunteer days. Any University of Nevada, Reno student is welcome to join the club, and Reno community members may join the listserve and participate in events. We are actively seeking speakers, places to visit, and volunteer events for our members. Our current leadership team consists of faculty advisor Dr. Beth Newingham, president Ranae Zauner, vice president Aramee Diethelm, treasurer Otis Clyne, and secretary Laura Shriver.
